If the equipment is purchased on credit (on account) then the net assets will stay the same as the assets will increase by the same amount as the liabilities
assets and liabilities increase
Example 1: A company purchased $12,000 equipment and paid in cash.Debit Equipment $12,000 (Increase in asset)Credit Bank $12,000 (Decrease in asset)Example 2: A company purchased $12,000 equipment in credit.Debit Equipment $12,000 (Increase in asset)Credit Supplier $12,000 (Increase in Liability)Example 3: A company purchased $12,000 equipment and paid in $10,000 Cast and $2,000 on credit.Debit Equipment $ 12,000 (Increase in asset)Credit Bank $ 10,000 (Decrease in asset)Credit Supplier $ 2,000 (Increase in Liability)
equipment is a long-term asset and assets increase with debits and decrease with credits. So if you buy equipment, you will debit equipment and credit cash if you bought it with cash. If you bought the equipment with a promise to pay (I was trying to avoid using the phrase "bought on credit" because it might make things confusing), you will credit accounts payable in liabilities because they increase with credit (basically the amount of money you are "liable" for just went up! Good news is that you have the equipment you needed/wanted) In the end, Assets = Liabilities + Stock Holder's equity has to balance out!
property and equipment should be debited if they increases because both are assets
If the equipment is purchased on credit (on account) then the net assets will stay the same as the assets will increase by the same amount as the liabilities
assets and liabilities increase
Increase in Assets & increase in Liabilities
a decrease in assets
Decrease in assets
Decrease in assets
Credit causes the decrease in assets only because assets has debit balance as a normal balance while all other items has credit balance and credit causes the increase in them.

A journal of that type of transactions would be: Debit Machinery Fixed Assets Credit Cash So it would decrease Current Assets and increase Long-Term Assets
A sales refund will reduce income (debit to Sales Returns) and assets (credit to cash). A debit to Depreciation Expense and a credit to Accumulated Depreciation will reduce assets and net income.
