    Insurance reduces one asset and increases another

    Purchase of supplies on account increases liabilities and increases asset

    Receipt of unpaid utility bill increases liability and reduces capital

    Payment of accrued utility bill reduces asset as well as liability

    Explanation:

    The purchase of 36-month insurance brings about increase in asset, insurance prepayment and reduction in another asset, cash.

    The purchase of supplies on account brings about increase in liability, accrued liabilities or other accounts payable as well as increase in asset, inventory of supplies.

    The receipt of utility bill yet to be paid, increases liability, accrued expenses and reduces capital, since an increase in expenses reduces retained earnings which is an integral part of capital

    Payment of utility reduces asset, cash and at the same time reduces liability, accrued expenses
