To determine

Use a horizontal statements model to show the effect of the transactions on the elements of financial statements.

Financial Statements:

Financial statements are complete record of all the financial transactions that take place in the business during a particular financial year. They report important financial information such as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the company to the internal and external users for taking necessary decision. They help them to know the  financial status of the business for a particular period.

Incorporation A
Horizontal Statements Model
Event		Assets	=	Liabilities	+	Equity		Net Income		Cash Flow
Year 1
1		+		NA		+		NA		+ FA
2		+-		NA		NA		NA		− ΙΑ
3		+-		NA		NA		NA		− ΙΑ
4		+		NA		+		+		+ OA
5		−		NA		−		−		− ΟΑ
6		−		NA		−		−		NA
7		NA		NA		+-		NA		NA
Year 2
