Basic equation

Assets = Liabilities + Equity. If assets are $12,000 and liabilities $4,000, equity is $8,000.

Borrowing

Borrowing $2,000 cash increases assets and liabilities equally, leaving equity unchanged.

Earning income

Net income raises equity: $800 revenue minus $300 expense increases equity by $500.
