If services are provided to customers on credit, then:
Liabilities will decrease and Equity will increase.
Correct!
Assets and Equity will increase.
Assets and Equity will decrease.
Assets and Liabilities will increase.
There will be no impact on the basic accounting equation.
When services are provided to customers on credit, the correct impact on the basic accounting equation is:
Assets and Equity will increase.
This is because the asset (accounts receivable) increases as the right to receive payment from customers has been created, and equity (retained earnings or revenue) increases since the company has earned revenue but has not yet received cash. The liability side of the equation does not change in this scenario, as there is no new obligation to outsiders.
