Virginia Mccullough · Answer 1

The correct answer is d. no effect on the accounting equation

Explanation:

The accounting equation is = Assets = Liabilities - Owner's Equity

The sale for $5,000 is recorded in a Profit and Loss Statement not in a Balance Sheet because is not an Assets or Liabilities nor Owner's Equity
