As a result, HBC often collects cash from the sales several months after Christmas.

Indicate the effects (accounts and amounts) of the (a) issuance of the note on November 1, (b) impact of the adjusting entry on December 31, 2017, and (c) the payment of the note and interest on April 30, 2018, on the accounting equation. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Enter any decreases to accounts with a minus sign.) Date Assets Liabilities (a) Nov. 1.2017 (b) Dec 31, 2017 (c) Apr 30, 2018
