Explanation:

When the investor add capital to the company it increases the cash account because it put money into the company and as counter account you have to increase equity to keep the accounting equation.

In the case that you keep in the company the Net Income, in this case the investor has the right of taking the money as dividend and retire the money of the company, but if the investor leave the money at the company by the Net Income it means that the company increase its retained earnings accounts with the counter account of cash as asset.

Here it's the opposite situation as before, and here the investor withdraw the money from the company, it means him get the cash and decrease the equity.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
