Chapter 3
Analyzing Changes
in Financial Position
Business Transactions
 On any given day, many
events occur that cause the
financial position of a
business to change.
 Each of these events is called
a business transaction.
 For example, suppose the
business buys a new truck for
which it pays $20,000 cash.
This event is a transaction
because it causes the financial
position of the business to
change.
Equation Analysis Sheet
 Your next step in the study of accounting
is to learn how various business
transactions affect and change the financial
position.
 Example Figure 3.1 & Figure 3.2 on Page 53
 Balance Sheet vs. Equation Analysis Sheet
 Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
 $53,300 = $20,120 + $33,180
 Try Transactions 1 to 7 from Page 54 to 59
Steps in Analyzing a Transaction
 1. Identify all items (assets & liabilities) that must be
changed and make all necessary changes
 2. See if the owner’s equity has changed
 3. Make certain that at least two of the individual
items have changed
 4. Make sure that the equation is still in balance
 Remember the accounting equation: Assets =
liabilities + owner’s equity

Section 3.2 Review Questions – Page 60
1. Name the form used in this chapter for analyzing
transactions.
 The equation analysis sheet is used for analyzing
transactions in this chapter.
2. Explain how this form is related to the balance
sheet.
 All of the assets, liabilities, and the equity are shown in
columns and are in a balanced state.
3. Explain the mathematical way of telling if capital
has increased after a business transaction.
 After a transaction, recalculate the total assets, the total
liabilities, and the equity. If the new equity figure is
greater than the previous equity figure, the capital has
increased.
Section 3.2 Review Questions – Page 60
4.
How do you know if the changes for a transaction recorded
on an equation analysis sheet are balanced?

5.
After each transaction is recorded on the equation analysis sheet, new
column totals can be calculated and these totals balanced according to
the fundamental accounting equation. The totals balance, it can be
assumed that the transaction was a balanced one.
Does a transaction always change both sides of the balance
sheet? How do you know?

A transaction does not always change both sides of the balance sheet.
For example, a transaction might increase one asset and decrease
another by the same amount. In this case, the liability side of the
balance sheet would be totally unchanged. The balance sheet still
balances after the sample transaction.

a bill. It is the original record of a transaction and it
provides the information needed when accounting for
the transaction
 For example: Hydro Bills, telephone bills, Cheque
copies, credit card statements, cash register
summaries.
 All source documents must be kept on file for
reference purposes and as proof of transactions

transaction to be used in the accounting records of both the
purchaser and the vendor
The accounting changes for the purchaser will increase
Supplies by $170.20 and increase Accounts Payable – The
Davey Company by $170.20
No, this was not a cash sale transaction
The bill comes from an independent source
Exercise 3 – Page 67
1. The source document is a cheque
2. Smokey Valley Ski Club issued a cheque
3. Mid-West Ski Lifts and Equipment received the
cheque
4. The source document is likely paying for ski lifts
and/or other equipment
5. B and C are both possible. B is more likely
because this type of equipment would normally be
first purchased on credit and paid for later.
