    D. Total assets increase $100,000

    Explanation:

    When a company buys equipment for 150,000, its asset first increases by 150,000 because it is adding an asset to its asset list which is worth 150,000 but because one third is paid in cash which is an asset, the asset column decreases by (1/3*150,000) = 50,000 as 50,000 cash is leaving the company. SO total assets increase by 100,000.
