Answer: a. Assets increase by $125,000 and liabilities increase by $125,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The Office equipment bought are considered PPE which means they are fixed assets. Their acquisition will increase the assets held by the company by the value of the equipment, $125,000.

The equipment was however, bought on credit. This means that the company still owes the suppliers, payment for it which will see their liabilities increase by the same amount of $125,000.
