The correct answer is (c). $8,000 increase., as increase in total assets (+$20000) minus increase in total liabilities (+$12000) equal to $8000 increase in Owner’s Equity during the same accounting period as it shows from the below Accounting Equation:

            Assets      =     Liabilities     +          Owner’s Equity

          +$20000    =      +$12000      +     Change In Owner’s Equity

Change Or Increase In Owner’s Equity = +$20000 - $12000 = $8000 increase in owner’s equity in the same period
