    C) Two

    Explanation:

    The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

    Assets = Liabilities + Equity

    While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

    Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

    Examining these transactions;

    Issued common stock for cash - This increases asset (cash) and increases equity as well.

    Purchased equipment by signing a note payable - This increases assets (equipment) and increase liability

    Paid rent for the current month - This reduces assets (cash) and reduces equity.

    Collected cash from customers on account - This does not increase asset as asset increases (cash) and decreases (accounts receivable) simultaneously.
