Transaction Analysis- Every transaction is first analyzed by accountant with the help of accounting equation to see transactions that affects the business event. This is known as transaction analysis which states that each transaction is analyzed to determine the effect of each transaction in two parts or dual effect on each element of an accounting equation so that the equation is in balance.

Requirement 1:
To show the effect on Mendholm Company when it performed services on account for $21500.
Answer to Problem 22CE
In this situation, when Mendholm Company performed services on account for $21500, it will increase assets and increases shareholder’s equity by $21500.

This creates an asset called accounts receivable which will be increased by $21500because payment is due from client.

Requirement 2:
To show the effect on Mendholm Companywhen cash of $9500 is collected from client for services performed on account.
Answer to Problem 22CE
When cash of $9500 is collected from client for services performed on account, it will increase assets for cash received and reduce assets at the same for decrease in accounts receivable created earlier.

Also, accounts receivable was increased at the time when the services were performed. So, now at the time pf payment, this will be reduced by $9500. Thus, the effect of this transaction on accounting equation will be shown as:

Requirement 3:
Toshow the effect on Mendholm Company whendividend of $500 is paid to stock holders.
Answer to Problem 22CE
In this case, if dividend is paid to stock holders, it will decrease assets(cash) and retained earnings from stockholder’s equity by $500.
Explanation of Solution
Dividends when declared are distributed from retained earnings as a contribution in stockholder’s equity fund. Thus, when Mendholm Company is paying dividend it will reduce the retained earnings by $500. Also, since it is cash dividend to stockholders, therefore, it will reduce assets in the form of cash by $500. This will be reflected in accounting equation as:

Requirement 4:
To show the effect on Mendholm Company whensalaries of $4000 is paid for current month.
Answer to Problem 22CE
In this case, salaries paid for current month will reduce assets by $4000 and decrease retained earnings by 4000.
Explanation of Solution
Since expense is a cost of asset consumed as a part of operating activity, so salaries are treated as an expense which when paid will reduce the retained earnings. Thus, retained earnings will be reduced by $4000. Also, since salaries are paid in cash, it will reduce assets by $4000. According to expense recognition principle, expenses are recorded in the same period when it helped to generate revenue. Since this transaction is related to Mendholm Company’s operations, therefore, it is classified as an operating activity. This will be shown in accounting equation as:
