Explanation:

The statement of owner's equity shows changes that occurred in the capital account in a business classified as a sole proprietorship (a business owned and managed by one person). This statement comprises of any contributions by the owner plus any operating income generated less operating costs and drawings made by the owner. In order to arrive at the above valuation, net income should be calculated. This is done by subtracting all expenses ($16350) from the consulting fees revenue ($26,960) that was generated during August. The net income generated was $10, 610 ($26,960 - ($9500 + $5560 + 820 + 470)). The drawings amount and initial contribution were both given in the question.

Note: The office supplies are considered to be an asset in Help Today. However, if the office supplies were to be treated as an expense, then the net income would be reduced by $5200.
