This process examines relevant, objectively measurable economic events through their effect on the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders’ Equity 7 7 An event for which the appropriate monetary measure can be derived is considered to be a. objectively measured b. economically viable c. relevant d. capitalized 8 8 Exercise 4-2 Using a tabular analysis approach, analyze the transactions. (Tabular analysis is on the next slide). Note that effects may be on both sides of the equation, in the same direction, or effects may be on one side of the equation with offsetting directions. 9 9 10 Exercise 4-2 Cash + A/R + Land = N/P + CC + RE 1. = 2. = 3. = 4. = 5. = 6. __ __ __ = __ __ __ 30,000 30,000 (20,000) 20,000 9,000 9,000 8,000 8,000 Rev.
