The correct answer of this multiple choice question is (A). Decrease Owner’s Equity. Brief Explanation Of MCQ Question: Expenses , (Expenses = Revenues - Profit), are incurred by the business to run the business in order to earn profits out of the profitable activities of the owner of the business.

The correct answer of this MCQ is (c), as to equalize Accounting Equation i.e., Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity ), we either have to increase total assets by $8000 or we have a choice to decrease stockholders’ equity by $8000. (a). To prove it, firstly, we choose “Assets must be increased by $8000”. By applying accounting equation, we get:    Assets       =       Liabilities     +           Stockholders’ Equity Change In Assets = Change In Liabilities + Change In  Stockholders’ Equity   +$8000      =         +$8000        +   Change In Stockholders’ Equity     +$8000      =         +$8000        +                             0 Change In Stockholders’ Equity = +$8000 - $8000 = 0 Hence, the accounting equation is in balance i.e., Left side is equal to right side. (b). Now, we must “Decrease Stockholders’ Equity by $8000”. As we know:                                 Assets                  =     Liabilities    +   Stockholders’ Equity Putting the value in ac
