Jaycee Chang · Answer 1

6,000 on the left side of Equipment account; $5,000 on the right side of Accounts payable account; $1,000 on the right side of the Cash account

Explanation:

When fixed assets are bought whether paid for or not, debit the asset account with the monetary value if the asset, and credit cash or bank if payment is made or credit account payable account where purchase is on credit.

In this case, the following entries should be done:

Debit Equipment Account $6,000

Credit Cash Account $1,000

Credit Account Payable $5,000
