Supplies is an Asset so, purchasing supplies serves to increase that asset item: we add $700 to our current Assets

Cash is an Asset. We depleted $700 cash reserve to acquire supplies. We decrease $700 from our currents assets.

In the accounting equation : since we have an addition and a reduction to asset we have nill impact.
