Dyanna Craig operates Craig Riding Academy. The academy’s primary sources of revenue are riding fees and lesson fees, which are paid on a cash basis. Dyanna also boards horses for owners, who are billed monthly for boarding fees. In a few cases, boarders pay in advance of expected use. For its revenue transactions, the academy maintains the following accounts: Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Service Revenue.

The academy owns 10 horses, a stable, a riding corral, riding equipment, and office equipment.

These assets are accounted for in these accounts: Horses, Buildings, and Equipment. The academy also maintains the following accounts: Supplies, Prepaid Insurance, Accounts Payable, Salaries and Wages Expense, Advertising Expense, Utilities Expense, and Maintenance and Repairs Expense.
Dyanna makes periodic withdrawals of cash for personal living expenses. To record Dyanna’s equity in the business and her drawings, two accounts are maintained: Owner’s Capital and Owner’s Drawings.
