Eliza has just opened a new business near campus that is a combination of a laundromat, a nail salon, and a tanning studio. there is an accounting firm located just down the street and eliza is paying them to do all of her accounting. at the end of the first quarter (three months of business), eliza has several questions about how things are going. if she wants to understand how much debt the business has right now, then she should look at the that her accountant has prepared. select one:

a. the income statement
b. the statement of owner’s equity
c. the balance sheet

c. the balance sheet

Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.  

In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity  

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.  

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The statement of stockholder's equity comprises common stock and retained earnings.  

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares
