Answer:

Cash increases by $500,000

Equipment decreases by $300,000

Profit increases by $200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Cash increases by $500,000 because the equipment was exchanged for cash.

The equipment (property,plant and equipment account) decreases by $300,000 because this particular equipment will be removed from PPE account.

Equity increases by $200,000 because there is a profit of $200,000 from the sale.
