Brenden Ritter · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": Revenues increase, so total equity is increased.

Explanation:

Equity represents ownership. Equity is one of the three principal asset classes. The other two are fixed income and cash. Equity is the value of a business or property after its debts and liabilities are paid. When talking about accounting, increases in income raises the firm's equity.

Thus, if a company earns $700 after a service rendered, that income will increase the company's equity.
