Transaction Analysis- Every transaction is first analyzed by accountant with the help of accounting equation to see transactions that affects the business event. This is known as transaction analysis which states that each transaction is analyzed to determine the effect of each transaction in two parts or dual effect on each element of an accounting equation so that the equation is in balance. The accounting equation is shown as:
Requirement 1:
To show the effect on Mendholm Company when it performed services on account for $21500.
Answer to Problem 22CE
In this situation, when Mendholm Company performed services on account for $21500, it will increase assets and increases shareholder’s equity by $21500.

This creates an asset called accounts receivable which will be increased by $21500because payment is due from client.

Requirement 2:
To show the effect on Mendholm Companywhen cash of $9500 is collected from client for services performed on account.
Answer to Problem 22CE
When cash of $9500 is collected from client for services performed on account, it will increase assets for cash received and reduce assets at the same for decrease in accounts receivable created earlier.

Thus, the effect of this transaction on accounting equation will be shown as:

Answer to Problem 22CE
In this case, salaries paid for current month will reduce assets by $4000 and decrease retained earnings by 4000.

Thus, retained earnings will be reduced by $4000. Also, since salaries are paid in cash, it will reduce assets by $4000.
