The effect of a transaction on individual asset accounts generally results in an increase or decrease in the value of specific assets, such as cash or inventory. Liability accounts may also be affected, either increasing if the transaction involves borrowing or decreasing if debts are paid off. Owner's equity is impacted based on the nature of the transaction; for example, revenues increase equity while expenses decrease it. Overall, the transaction reflects changes in the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity.
