Solution

The accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity.

Let's check each option:

  1. Assets decrease by 900;OwnersEquityincreasesby900; Owner's Equity increases by 900: This does not obey the accounting equation because if assets decrease, the right side of the equation (Liabilities + Owner's Equity) should also decrease.

  2. Assets increase by 250;Liabilitiesdecreaseby250; Liabilities decrease by 900; Owner's Equity increases by 650:Thisdoesnotobeytheaccountingequationbecausetheincreaseinassets(650: This does not obey the accounting equation because the increase in assets (250) does not equal the combined change in liabilities and owner's equity (-900+900 + 650 = -$250).

  3. Assets increase by 250;Liabilitiesdecreaseby250; Liabilities decrease by 650; Owner's Equity increases by 900:Thisdoesnotobeytheaccountingequationbecausetheincreaseinassets(900: This does not obey the accounting equation because the increase in assets (250) does not equal the combined change in liabilities and owner's equity (-650+650 + 900 = $250).

  4. Assets increase by 900;Liabilitiesdecreaseby900; Liabilities decrease by 900: This obeys the accounting equation because the increase in assets (900)equalsthedecreaseinliabilities(900) equals the decrease in liabilities (-900), assuming that owner's equity remains constant.

So, the correct answer is "Assets increase by 900;Liabilitiesdecreaseby900; Liabilities decrease by 900".
