Solution

The correct answer is: increases assets and increases liabilities.

Here's why:

When Boyd Corporation borrows 300,000fromthebank,itreceivescash(anasset)of300,000 from the bank, it receives cash (an asset) of 300,000. This increases the company's assets.

At the same time, the company now has a liability (the note payable) of $300,000 to the bank. This increases the company's liabilities.

So, the transaction increases both assets and liabilities.
