For each transaction, describe the dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, for the first transaction, (1) assets increase and (2) stockholders' equity increases.

The description of the dual effects of the transactions on the accounting equation is as follows:

1. Asset increases (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) increases.

2. One asset (Equipment) increases and another asset (Cash) decreases.

3. Assets (Supplies) increase and liabilities (Accounts Payable) increase.

4. Assets (Cash) decrease and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) decreases.

5. Assets (Cash) decrease and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) decreases.

6. Assets (Cash) decrease and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) decreases.

7. One asset (Cash) increases and another asset (Accounts Receivable) decreases.

8. Assets (Cash) increase and liabilities (Deferred Revenue) increase.

The accounting equation is a depiction that assets equal liabilities and equity at every given time and with every transaction.  This equation gives each transaction the dual effect.

1. Accounts Receivable $15,000 Service Revenue $15,000

2. Equipment $16,000 Cash $16,000

3. Supplies $2,500 Accounts Payable $2,500

4. Salaries Expense $3,200 Cash $3,200

5. Advertising Expense $1,200 Cash $3,200

6. Rent Expense $4,400 Cash $4,400

7. Cash $10,000 Accounts Receivable $10,000

8. Cash $5,000 Deferred Revenue $5,000

Thus, the dual effect means that each transaction affects, at least, two accounts of the accounting equation.
