Tina and glendon, we are not here to do other people's homework for them. No one learns anything that way and it breaks our rules. You two and original poster, please see our guidelines for posting homework problems here:

charles, the accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
By saying the "expanded equation," all they are doing is splitting the equity into capital stock and retained earnings. i.e.:
Assets = Liabilities + Stock + Retained Earnings.
The three numbers in the columns are the first three, leaving retained earnings as a blank to be solved. Hence, it's just a matter of taking the left side (assets) and finding out the missing number to make the right side equal it.
20,000 = 8000 + 3500 + ??
So the missing number is 8500.
Etc.

Except C doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense.
