Answer:
Purchase of equipment for cash results in an increase in intangible fixed assets & a decrease in current assets. The purchase of equipment for cash does not result in changes in liabilities as when equipment purchased it results in an increase in intangible fixed assets & the same time cash & cash equivalents get reduced.
Jeanie Company purchases $600 of equipment from Mundelein Company for cash. The effect on the components results in an increase in equipment (assets) for $600 & a decrease in cash (current assets) for $600.
Therefore, it does not result in changes in liabilities & hence Option (b) "no changes in total assets" is the correct answer.
