Assets and liabilities both will increase by $70,000.

Explanation:

Given data provided

Purchase land = $100,000

Cash payment = $30,000

The computation of net effect is shown below:-

= Purchase land - Cash payment

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

Therefore, for computing the net effect we simply deduct cash payment from purchase land. So, Assets and liabilities both will increase by $70,000.
