Your friend, Amin Akmali, has asked your advice about the effects that certain business transactions will have on his business. His business, Car Finders, finds the best deals on automobiles for clients. Time is short, so you cannot journalize transactions.

The business had the following transactions during March 2017:
a. Akmali deposited $50,000 cash in a business bank account.
