Required:
For each listed transaction and related adjusting entry, indicate the accounts, amounts, and effects on the accounting equation.

Accounts, Amounts, and Effects on the Accounting Equation:

Apr. 30 Assets increase (Cash +$876,000) = Liabilities increase(Promissory note payable (Commercial Bank) +$876,000) + Equity

June 6 Assets increase (Inventory +$98,000) = Liabilities increase (Accounts payable +$98,000) + Equity

July 15 Assets decrease (Cash -$98,000) = Liabilities decrease (Accounts payable -$98,000) + Equity

Aug. 31 Assets increase (Cash +$35,500) = Liabilities increase (Deferred Revenue +$35,500) + Equity

Dec. 31 Assets = Liabilities increase (Salary and wages payable +$63,000) + Equity decrease (Retained earnings (Salary and wages expenses) -$63,000)

Dec. 31 Assets = Liabilities increase (Interest payable +$49,640) + Equity decrease (Retained earnings (Interest Expense) -$49,640)

Dec. 31 Assets = Liabilities decrease (Deferred Revenue -$23,667) + Equity increase (Retained earnings (Security Service Revenue) +$23,667)
