Answer:
d. increase Equipment with a debit and the normal balance is a debit
Explanation:
Equipment is an asset account. Asset accounts are increased with a debit, and decreased with a credit. Their normal balance is a debit because assets as a whole are debit accounts.
For example, if a firm has $1,000 worth of equipment, and purchases (with cash) $200 more, the journal entry would be:
Account Debit Credit
Equipment $200
Cash $200
And the new normal balance would be a debit worth of $1,200
