Rosie Dry Cleaning

Effects on the accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity:

Year 1:

Assets (Accounts Receivable +$45,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained earnings: Service Revenue +$45,000)

Assets (Cash +$39,000; Accounts Receivable -$39,000) = Liabilities + Equity

Assets (Accounts Receivable ($450)) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - Bad Debt Expense ($450))

Year 2:

Assets (Accounts Receivable ($300)) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings: Bad Debts Expense ($300))

Assets (Accounts Receivable +$62,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings: Service Revenue +$62,000)

Assets (Cash +$61,000; Accounts Receivable -$61,000) = Liabilities + Equity

Assets (Accounts Receivable ($620)) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings: Bad Debt Expense ($620))
