    How will this purchase impact the accounting equation of Perfect Printers at the time of the purchase?

    An increase in the assets by $200,000 and a similar increase in liability by $200,000

    Explanation:

    The accounting equation is the foundation for the double enter system of account balancing. In this system, the amount of debits are entered on one side as the corresponding credit is entered on the other side. Then the total credits are added and compared to the sum of the debit. When the credit equals the debit, the accounts balance. The accounting equation can be expressed as;

    A=L+E

    where;

    A=assets

    L=liabilities

    E=owner's equity

    Lets enter the transaction as shown;

    Account type Asset Liability

    Printing machine $200,000

    Cash $200,000

    Total $200,000 $200,000

    An increase in the assets by $200,000 and a similar increase in liability by $200,000
