Answer: A

The cancellable order requires no entry under the stated facts. At delivery, Supplies and Accounts Payable each increase by $5,000. The invoice checks the recorded amount but does not change either balance. Paying $2,000 reduces Cash and the payable. Ending Cash is $8,000, Supplies are $5,000, total assets are $13,000, liabilities are $3,000, and equity is $10,000.
