Required:
Record the events in general ledger accounts under an accounting equation.

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $71,500

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for how the events are recorded in general ledger accounts under an accounting equation.

From the attached excel file, we can obtain the following:

Assets = Total assets = $63,500 + $8,000 = $71,500

Liabilities = Total liabilities = $10,000

Stockholders’ Equity = Total Stockholders’ Equity = $20,000 + $41,500 = $61,500

Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $10,000 + $61,500 = $71,500

Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $71,500
