What is the effect of this transaction on individual asset accounts individual liability accounts and the Owner's Equi?

The effect of a transaction on individual asset accounts generally results in an increase or decrease in the value of specific assets, such as cash or inventory. Liability accounts may also be affected, either increasing if the transaction involves borrowing or decreasing if debts are paid off. Owner's equity is impacted based on the nature of the transaction; for example, revenues increase equity while expenses decrease it. Overall, the transaction reflects changes in the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity.

What accounts will not effect owner's equity?

Accounts that do not affect owner's equity include assets and liabilities. For example, when a company purchases equipment (an asset) or incurs a loan (a liability), these transactions do not directly change the owner's equity. Instead, they affect the balance sheet by altering the composition of assets and liabilities. Additionally, certain revenue and expense accounts will ultimately impact owner's equity only through net income, but the initial transactions themselves do not directly affect it.

Accrued rent expense is a liability?

Accrued rent expense is classified as an Expense. It's not classified as a liability. Expenses are paid out of "Revenue" and they affect "Retained Earnings". When you do a Trial Balance before closing out your accounts, Expenses are actually listed with Assets, because all "Expenses" contain a debit balance.There is only one reason an expense would be listed as a liability and that is if you post the transaction before paying it and then the account "Expense Payable" is used and is a liability as it is a "Payable" and actually is not listed with the term "expense" in it. For example if you have Rent Expense, then the two accounts used are Rent Expense and Rent Payable. Notice the "liability" account is actually titled "rent payable" not "rent expense".The term accrued is merely the term used in Accrual Accounting, which simply means that all transactions are recorded as they occur or "accrue" as opposed to cash basis accounting where transactions are recorded only when cash is paid out or received.In actuality if you are trying to classify your accounts, such as the question, classify the following accounts as either an Asset, Liability or Owners Equity Account, Expenses will be classified as an Owners Equity Account as they affect Retained Earnings, which in turn affects Owners Equity (stockholders equity).
