Answer:

The total for assets, liabilities, and equity:

Total assets $28,000

Total liabilities $13,000

Total equity $15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cash: $10,000

Accounts Receivable: $2,000

Office Supplies: $1,000

Furniture: $15,000

Total assets $28,000

Accounts Payable: $3,000

Notes Payable: $10,000

Total liabilities $13,000

Equity: $5,000

Retained Earnings $10,000

Total equity $15,000

Retained Earnings = Assets - (Liabilities + Equity)

b) The accounting equation states that assets = liabilities + equity. This equation is always true with each transaction that occurs, provided it is correctly posted. It is the basis of the double-entry system of accounting with each transaction affecting at least two accounts.
