Assets = Liab. + Com. Stk. Rev. - Exp. = Net Inc Cash A. 153,000 = NA + 153,000 NA - NA = NA 153,000 FA B. 189,000 = NA + 189,000 NA - NA = NA 189,000 IA C. 153,000 = NA + 153,000 NA - NA = NA 153,000 IA D. 189,000 = NA + 189,000 NA - NA = NA 189,000 FA

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

When 9,000 shares of no-par stock issued for $17 per share increases to $21, this means that the additional amount

= ($21 - $17) × 9000

= $36,000

Amount to be collected from the issue

= $21 × 9000

= $189,000

This will result in an increase in cash and an increase in owners equity (the respective debits and credits).
