Answer:

increase assets by $13,000, increase liabilities by $13,000 and have no effect on equity.

Explanation:

Given that

The total cost of purchase of delivery truck = $15,000

Cash paid = $2,000

The accounting equation equals to

Total assets = Total liabilities + owners equity

The remaining amount left would be equal to

= $15,000 - $2,000

= $13,000

So it would increase the assets for $13,000 as the delivery truck is purchased plus there is also an increase in liabilities for $13,000 as it signed a note payable and there is no effect on equity
