Explanation:
a) The accounting equation states that Assets are equal to Liabilities plus Equity for every given business transaction. Each transaction affects either the two sides of the equation equally or increases and decreases one side only. This equation means that the two sides must be in balance given any transaction. For example, the purchase of goods on credit will increase Inventory and increase Liabilities by the same amount.
b) Journal Entries are used to initially record or recognize business transactions. The entries show which accounts will be debited and which will be credited in the Ledger.
c) T-Accounts is accounting tool which shows the ledger account to be debited and credited and to balance the account at the end of a period. It is from the ledger that a trial balance is extracted before adjustments are made for the preparation of financial statements.
