In Asset, Units_In_Stock may not belong there if stock levels are supposed to be updated per transaction ? sometimes this is kept in a Stock table or derived from transactions.
In Transaction, you might also need a field like Quantity (e.g., how many units purchased in that transaction). Otherwise, the system can't track purchases properly.
Yes ? your diagram is correct for Task 3 and satisfies 3NF. Just note: if your teacher expects tracking of quantity purchased per transaction, add Quantity in the Transaction table.
