Answer:
The effect is an increase in the balance of assets by $87,000 and a corresponding increase in the balance of liabilities.
Explanation:
The accounting equation shows the relationship between all the elements of the balance sheet. These are the assets, liabilities and owners equity. It is shown as
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
When a company buys an asset on account, the entries required are debit assets, credit accounts payable. This means that asset increases but so does liabilities balance.
Hence asset increases to
= $624,000 + $87,000
= $711,000
Liabilities also increases to
= $262,000 + $87,000
= $349,000
