Answer

The answer is d. A withdrawal

Explanation
Option a: Payment on account

This transaction involves paying off a liability, which decreases both cash (an asset) and accounts payable (a liability). It does not directly affect Owner's Equity.

Option b: Equipment purchase on account

This transaction increases both equipment (an asset) and accounts payable (a liability). It does not directly affect Owner's Equity.

Option c: Customer payment on account

This transaction increases cash (an asset) and decreases accounts receivable (another asset). It does not directly affect Owner's Equity.

Option d: A withdrawal

A withdrawal (also known as a drawing) directly decreases Owner's Equity because it represents the owner taking money out of the business for personal use.
