Answer:

The correct answer is option (d).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Beginning equity = Total asset - total liabilities

= $20,000 - $5,000 = $15,000

Ending equity = Beginning equity + Revenues - Expenses + Issued stock - Dividend paid

= $15,000 + $16,000 - $10,000 + $3,000 - $5,000

= $19,000

So, the change in equity can be calculated as:

Change in equity = Ending equity - Beginning equity

= $19,000 - $15,000

=$4,000
