Jordon Perkins · Answer 1

a. Cash and accounts payable

Explanation:

The journal entry to record this given transaction is shown below:

Equipment A/c Dr $5,000

To Cash A/c $1,000

To Account payable A/c $4,000

(Being the equipment is purchased for cash and on account)

Since the equipment is purchased for $5,000 that increase the asset account and the cash is paid for $1,000 so it would be credited plus the remaining amount is given on credit basis so we credited the account payable account
