Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Net value of the equipment:

= Cost of equipment - Partial year depreciation

= $230,000 - $23,000

= $207,000

Increase in capital assets:

= Net value of the equipment - Acquired loan

=  $207,000 - $200,000

= $7,000

Therefore, the net effect of this transaction on the net position accounts of the enterprise fund is an increase in the net investment in capital assets by $7,000.
