I need some help with an accounting assignment! I am not sure exacly what this question is asking...?

Question

Identify whether a debit or credit yields the indicated change for each of the following accounts:
example:1. To increase Store Equipment

I am not sure what the question is asking and I speciffically don't know what "debit or credit yields" means.

Answer 1

I think "yields" here means "gives" or "results in" the indicated change.

Store equipment would be an asset account. If you're increasing it, you'd use a debit to that account.

Answer 2

What are the accounts that you have to determine the affect of buying equip on?
Buying equipment would cause a debit in your accts payable.
You are right the question is weird but buying equip. would be an increase in your assets.
