    Common Stocks 15,400

    Explanation:

    cash 8,800 Account Payable 2,500

    account receivable 3,000 Common Stock x (B)

    Total Current Assets 11,800 Reained Earnings 9,900 (A)

    Land 16,000

    Total Assets 27,800 Liability + SE 27,800

    (A) First we calculate the RE:

    beginning RE + net income

    net income = revenue - expense

    19,000 - 14,500 = 4,500

    beginning RE + net income

    5,400 + 4,500 = 9,900

    (B) We solve for Equity using the accounting equation

    Liab + Equity = Assets

    2,500 + (Comon Stock + Retained Earnings) = 27,800

    Common stock + 9,900 = 27,800 - 2,500

    Common stock = 27,800 - 2,500 - 9,900 = 15,400
