Solution

The correct answer is "signing a note payable to purchase equipment." This transaction would not affect the owners' equity because it is a liability transaction. It increases the company's liabilities (notes payable) and assets (equipment), but does not directly affect the owners' equity. The other transactions involve either increasing revenue (billing customers), decreasing assets (payment of property taxes), or decreasing owners' equity (owner’s withdrawal of cash), all of which would affect the owners' equity.
