MCQ
Purchase of office equipment for cash would cause __________.
  • Cash in hand to decrease
  • B
    External liability to decrease
  • C
    Total liabilities to increase
  • D
    Total assets to increase

Answer

Correct option: A.
Cash in hand to decrease
Cash exists as a company's most liquid asset. Purchasing office equipment for cash will reduce a company's assets (i.e. reduction in cash in hand).
Since owner's equity equals assets minus liabilities, owner's equity will be reduced as a result of buying office equipment with cash.
