Can you explain what changed?
Try the practice lab: transactions to trial balance →
A business buys equipment for $300 cash. Ignore tax and depreciation for this example. Try answering before opening the explanation.
Does buying equipment for cash change total assets?
No. Equipment increases by $300 and cash decreases by $300. One asset is exchanged for another, so total assets stay the same.
What is the journal entry?
Debit Equipment $300. Credit Cash $300. The entry records an increase in equipment and a decrease in cash; total debits equal total credits.
Is the $300 automatically an expense when paid?
No. Equipment expected to provide benefits over more than one accounting period is generally recorded as an asset. Its cost may then be allocated through depreciation over its useful life. Specific treatment depends on the applicable accounting framework and materiality.
