Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1. Equipment ($45,000 + $2,200 + $700 + $1,000) $48,900

To Accounts payable $47,200 ($45,000 + $2,200)

To Cash $1,700

(Being the equipment is purchased on cash and credit)

Since the equipment is purchased so it would be debited and the other two accounts i. e account payable and the cash is credited
