Dr Equiqment            $922,823

  Cr Note Payables   $922,823

(to record the purchase of Equipment by issuance of note)

Explanation:

As we purchase the Equiment in terms of issuing Note payable in the next 5 years, at the date of purchase, the Asset side will increase ( shown with a Debit) and the Liability side will also increase ( shown with a Credit entry).

Besides deciding which Accounts will be adjusted by the transaction, we still have to find the book value of the Equiqment to determine how much the these accounts will be adjusted.

In this case, the Equipment's booked value is equal to the present value of the annuity made through five equal installment annually which is discounted at the market rate 12% applied to the same kind of Note.

Thus we have:

Equipment's book value = (256K / 12%) x [ 1 - (1+ 12%)(^-5) = $ 922,823
