Decrease asset; since repurchase is with cash, whis is an asset

Decrease equity; if repurchased stock is not to be reissued, it is declared void and the number of outstanding assets is decreased. Hence, equity is decreased.

What will increase asset and decrease liability?

This is a difficult question to answer. I've been going through all transactions I can think of but none that will increase an asset and decrease a liability in the same transaction. Receiving cash payment for an account receivable will increase the asset of cash, but it also decreases the asset of AR. The purchase of equipment or supplies will do increase supplies or equipment but will either decrease the asset of cash or if bought on account will increase liability by increasing an account payable. Remember there's always an equal debit and credit with any transaction. The term debit or credit doesn't indicate which of the accounts are used. You can debit and credit on both sides of the accounting equation in one transaction. Assets increase by receiving money, supplies, property, or equipment, when any of these are increased with a debit then an opposite credit MUST occur. If you receive money for a purchase the asset of Cash increases, but then so does the Owners Equity account of Revenue. (this doesn't have anything to do with liabilities.) A liability is something your company owes, to decrease a liability a company makes a pay out in some form (usually cash), this will also decrease your assets (not increase).


Which are the accounts when they are debited increase?

Accounts that increase when debited typically include asset accounts (like cash, inventory, and equipment), expense accounts (such as rent, utilities, and salaries), and loss accounts. In accounting, debiting these accounts reflects an increase in value or cost. Conversely, liability, equity, and revenue accounts decrease when debited.
