    The beginning of these problems is doing the journal entries. The first journal entry on your first post contains two transactions, so I will show you how to do it.

    The first part is the owner putting money into the business, so you will Debit Cash for the amount stated and Credit Even Hudson, Capital for the same amount.

    The second part is the owner is donating a vehicle in the business en exchange for stock, so you will Debit Vehicle for the amount the vehicle is worth and Credit Common Stock for the same amount.

    Now you can combine the two journal entries into one journal entry, but it is best to keep them sepearate.

    The rest of your transactions are pretty simple and some of the accounts are given to you. You just have to figure out what accounts are being affected and whether to Debit or Credit that particular account. Your Debits must equal your credits, which means if you debit one account for a certain amount your credit entries must equal your debit amount, and vise versa.
