Explanation:

When cash is received for common stock, cash increases and so does equity. when an employment is given to an employee, salary expense is not incurred until the employee has worked.

For equipment purchased on account, the purchase creates a liability in form of accounts payable while asset balance also increases.

Rental income and other forms of income (revenue in this case) must be recognized immediately it is earned and not necessarily when cash is paid.
