Analyze the accounting transactions provided in the image.
Understand the Problem
The image shows a series of accounting transactions for a company named Game Ltd. It includes dates, descriptions of transactions (e.g., paid rent, bought furniture, goods sold on credit, etc.), parties involved (e.g., Jalia Ltd., Kasim, Santos, Atukunda, Eyangu, Tirisa, Mukasa), and amounts in Ugandan shillings (Ugx). This looks like a homework question related to accounting.

To analyze the transactions, the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) must be applied to each transaction. Each transaction will affect at least two accounts. For example, paying rent in cash decreases cash (an asset) and increases expenses (which decreases equity).
