Respuesta :
Either A or C would be right, because it couldn't be a decrease of the equity.
The Correct Answer is D) Increase an asset; Increase owners equity
Explanation:
Cash is recorded as a 'Current Asset'. When Mary invested cash in her new business, her 'Current Assets' increased by the amount of cash she invested.
Assets = Liabilities + Equities
In order to balance the above equation, an increase in Assets would result in an increase in the equity with equal proportion.
For Example, Mary invested $1 Million in her new business. The assets and owners equity would increase by $1 Million each.
