Explanation:

a) Effect of transactions:  Each transaction affects at least two accounts, one or two of assets and one or two of liabilities and equity.  The accounting equation is represented by assets = liabilities + equity.  This equation is always in balance by each transaction because of the double effects of each transaction.

b) Assets are the resources owned by the entity while liabilities and equity represent resources supplied by creditors and those belonging to the stockholders in the form of resources supplied to and generated by the entity.  At each point in time, the assets belong proportionately to either the creditors (liabilities) or the stockholders (equity).
