    Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's Equity (which is Capital Stock + Retained Earnings)

    A)
    20,000 = 8,000 + A + 3,500
    A = 8,500

    B)
    16,000 = B + 5,000 + 2,000
    B = 9,000

    C)
    C = 11,000 + 14,000 + 32,000
    C = 57,000

    D)
    46,000 = 30,000 + 20,000 + D
    D = -4,000
