Answer 1

Answer:

C.Accounting Identity​ is: Assets equivalentLiabilities​ + Owners' Equity.

Explanation:

In accounting identity all variables must balance, if they do not balance according to the equation then there must be an error in formulation, measurement or calculation.

The basic assumption in accounting identity is that the balance sheet must balance. That is assets must be equal to a sum of liabilities and owner's equity.

Asset= Liabilities+ Owners Equity.

This relationship is based on the convention of double entry, for every debit there is an equal credit.
