Analysis of transactions

A transaction can be defined as any economic activity pertinent to a business organization. It refers to any business event that affects the assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity and can be measured in terms of money. These transactions lead to changes in three elements of the basic equation:

• A transaction that increases the total assets also increases the total liabilities or owner’s equity.
• A transaction that decreases the total assets also decreases the total liabilities or owner’s equity.
• Some transactions might increase one account and decrease another on the same side of the equations, which means one asset increases while another decreases.

All transactions affect the accounting equation that is displayed below. The accounting equation should always remain in balance at the time of recording a business transaction:

$\boxed{\text{Asset = Liabilities + Stockholders' equity}}$
