The value of equity in economics is obtained by first adding the values of the total current assets and long-term assets and then subtracting this sum to the summation of total current liabilities and long-term liabilities.

In this case, we classify each of the given data to the following categories included in the equation above. The current asset is $30,000; long term assets are for supplies and equipment and lastly, the current liability is $8500. Substituting to the given equation for equity computation above, then

Equity = $30,000 + $600 + $10000 - $8500 = $32000

This is the amount of money to construct Gladstone, Inc.
