    b. Debit Equipment $85,000; Credit Cash $85,000.

    Explanation:

    Provided information,

    Financial year will end on 30 June each year.

    The computer equipment is purchased on 1 July

    Cost of equipment = $85,000

    Note: At the time of purchase as the equipment is long term, it will be accounted as fixed asset and is a capital expenditure, not a revenue expense to be charged in books of account.

    Therefore, entry for recording the purchase of computer equipment shall be:

    Equipment A/c Dr. $85,000

    To Cash A/c $85,000

    (Recording purchase of equipment in exchange of cash)
