Context for the Question:

Sybil Hilesio is the owner of Soap and Suds and as at 1 July 2025 had $30 000 of capital in her business. Sybil let her accountant know of two transactions that had taken place during July 2025: July 2 Took office furniture home for personal use$100 (Memo 24)
10 Contributed to the store new shelving which she had purchased 2 years ago for $4 400 including GST (Inv. A100) but would cost$2 750 including GST if purchased today (Memo 25)

So the question says:

Explain the effect on the Accounting equation of Soap and Suds as at 31 July 2015 if Memo 25 is not
recorded.

Now I'm not sure if the Accounting equation would be balanced with both Assets and Owner's Equity increasing by 4.4k or if it doesn't balance because the actual value of the assets is 2.75k.

Hello,

In the instance:

Assets will be understated by $2500 as the shelving is a non-current asset worth$2500 (we use the fair value for relevance)

Liabilities will have no effect

Owner's Equity will be also understated as since we are contributing shelving worth $2500, our capital should increase by$2500.

Im pretty sure I have completed this question correctly, however, I'm only a year 12 completing the subject this year so I don't consider myself an expert
