Explanation:

From the question, Foster, Inc., bought a truck by paying $5,000 and then borrowed the remaining $30,000 that was required to complete the transaction.

Since the company borrowed $30,000, this will lead to an increase in the liability of the company by $30,000. Also, it will lead to a reduction in the net assets of the company by a net amount of $30,000
