In the 1400's, Luca Pacioli, who is known as the father of accounting, introduced the world to a better understanding of accounting and the double entry accounting system through his book, Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita. Today, the same principles and concepts keep many companies around the world well informed of their financial standing:
• How are business events captured for reporting?
• What is the ultimate purpose of communicating accounting information?

Instructions
Describe the effect of each transaction on assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. For example, the first answer is (1) Increase in assets and increase in stockholders' equity.
Analyze the effect of transactions on assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity.
SUMMARY OF TRANSACTIONS
Illustration 3-3 summarizes the transactions of Sierra Corporation to show their cumulative effect on the basic accounting equation. It includes the transaction number in the first column on the left. The right-most column shows the specific effect of any transaction that affects stockholders' equity. Remember that Event (9) did not result in a transaction, so no entry is included for that event. The illustration demonstrates three important points:
1. Each transaction is analyzed in terms of its effect on assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity.
2. The two sides of the equation must always be equal.
3. The cause of each change in stockholders' equity must be indicated.
Transaction Analysis
A tabular analysis of the transactions made by Roberta Mendez & Co., a certified public accounting firm, for the month of August is shown below. Each increase and decrease in stockholders' equity is explained.
Describe each transaction that occurred for the month.
Action Plan
- Analyze the tabular analysis to determine the nature and effect of each transaction.

- Remember that a change in an asset will require a change in another asset, a liability, or in stockholders' equity.
