Here is the completed accounting equation table:

  1. Analyze Transaction 1.

    Paid Telkom R500 via EFT for business telephone account.

    • The Telephone account (an expense) is debited, decreasing Owner's Equity.
    • The Bank account (an asset) is credited, decreasing Assets.
  2. Analyze Transaction 2 (Sales part).

    Sold goods on credit for R216.

    • The Debtors account (an asset) is debited, increasing Assets.
    • The Sales account (revenue) is credited, increasing Owner's Equity.
  3. Analyze Transaction 2 (Cost of Sales part).

    Sold goods on credit for R216 at a mark-up of 80%.

    • Calculate the Cost of Sales: Selling Price = Cost ×\times (1 + Mark-up percentage) R216=Cost×(1+0.80)R216 = \text{Cost} \times (1 + 0.80) R216=Cost×1.80R216 = \text{Cost} \times 1.80 Cost=R2161.80\text{Cost} = \frac{R216}{1.80} Cost=R120\text{Cost} = R120
    • The Cost of Sales account (an expense) is debited, decreasing Owner's Equity.
