    A Total assets increased by 50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Total liabilities increased by 40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Total assets increased by 40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Total assets increased by 40,000 with a corresponding increase in liabilities by 40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Total liabilities decreased by 40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This transaction involves the purchase of a car for 50,000. The down payment of 10,000 reduces the cash (asset) by 10,000, but it increases the car (asset) by 50,000. The bill payable of 40,000 represents a liability, as it's a debt that needs to be paid. So, the net effect is an increase in assets (car) by 40,000 and a corresponding increase in liabilities (bill payable) by 40,000.
