Record transactions and adjustments Enter the following column headings across the top of a sheet of paper: Transaction/ Adjustment Assets Liabilities Stockholders' Equity Net Income

Enter the transaction/adjustment letter in the first column and show the effect, if any, of the transaction entry or adjusting entry on the appropriate balance sheet category or on the income statement by entering the amount and indicating whether it is an addition (+) or a subtraction (â). Column headings reflect the expanded balance sheet equation; items that affect net income should not be shown as affecting stockholders' equity. In some cases, only one column may be affected because all the specific accounts affected by the transaction are included in that category. Transaction a has been
completed as an illustration. (Note: As an alternative to using the columns, you may write the journal entry for each transaction or adjustment.)
