Answer:

The impact on the accounting equation is as follows:

Assets $-1,005 (decline) = Liabilities $3,150 (increase) + Retained earnings $-4,155 (decline)

The necessary journal entries are outlined as below:

Explanation:

The accounting equation represents a company's balance sheet, stating that total assets equal liabilities plus equity.

Scenario (a)

Debit Prepaid insurance $6,200

Credit Cash $6,200

(To document payment for a one-year insurance policy)

Debit Insurance expense (0.25 × $6,200) $1,550

Credit Prepaid insurance $1,550

(To record the amortization of prepaid insurance - October to December)

Scenario (b)

Debit Cash $5,000

Credit Unearned revenue $5,000

(To document unearned service revenue)

Debit Unearned revenue (0.75 × $5,000) $3,750

Credit Sales revenue $3,750

(To record the amortization of unearned service revenue)

Scenario (c)

Debit Supplies $1,900

Credit Accounts payable $1,900

(To account for the purchase of supplies on credit)

Debit Supplies expenses ($1,900 - $245) $1,655

Credit Supplies $1,655

(To record the amortization of purchased supplies)

Scenario (d)

Debit Prepaid lease $11,280

Credit Cash $11,280

(Prepayment for office space)

Debit Rent paid (5/12 × $11,280) $4,700

Credit Prepaid lease $4,700

(To record amortization of prepaid office space from August to December)

The accounting equation based on the formula: Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Cash -$6,200 + $5,000 - $11,280 + Prepayment $6,200 - $1,550 + $11,280 - $4700 + Supplies $1,900 - $1,655 = Unearned revenue $5,000 - $3,750 + Accounts payable $1,900

Cash $-12,480 + Prepayment $11,230 + Supplies $245 = Unearned revenue $1,250 + Accounts payable $1,900 + Retained earnings $-4,155

Assets $-1,005 (decline) = Liabilities $3,150 (increase) + Retained earnings $-4,155 (decline)
