Explanation:

The balance sheet shows the assets, liabilities and equity of a business. It defines the accounting equation. Assets include cash, equipment, receivables. Liabilities include notes payable, loans, accrued expense etc.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity is made up of common stock and retained earnings

Retained earnings?

Equity = $33,500 - $14,000

= $19,500

Retained earnings = $19,500 - $10,000

= $9,500
