Explanation:

The Financial Statement effects of each transaction is a reflection of how each transaction affects at least two opposite elements of the financial statement. Every transaction affects the elements of the financial statement in one way or another, which enables the accounting equation to remain in balance.

For example, a transaction may increase the assets and also increase either the liabilities or equity side of the balance sheet.

In our example, the transactions affected only the balance sheet. This means that each transaction increases or decreases the assets, liabilities, or equity sections.
