Expert Solution

Equity would be changed with the amount of retained earnings.

Net income = Revenues – Expenses

                   = 100,000 – 89,500

                   = $10,500

Retained earnings = Net income – Cash dividends

                              = 10,500 – 24,000

                              = -$13,500

Answer: Equity decreases by $13,500.
