Explanation:

On May 31 of the current year, the assets and liabilities of Riser, Inc. are as follows: Cash $20,500; Accounts Receivable, $7,250; Supplies, $650; Equipment, $12,000; Accounts Payable, $9,300.

Therefore the amount of stockholders’ equity as of May 31 of the current year can be derived by the formula : Capital = Assets - Liabilities

Assets

Cash $20,500;

Accounts Receivable, $7,250;

Supplies, $650;

Equipment, $12,000
