Required:
Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.

Answer 1

Answer:

Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.

In the attached excel file, we have:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155

Explanation:

In the attached excel file, we have:

Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895

Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155

Assets = $152,155

Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155

Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
