Explanation:

The question requires business events to be analyzed chronologically with each event's impact on the accounting equation.

The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity (Assets = Liabilities + Equity).  The implication of this equation is that given each business transaction, Assets will always be equal to Liabilities and Equity.  Two accounts or more are usually affected by each transaction.  It may be two assets accounts or one asset and liabilities, etc.  Expenses and Income impact the Retained Earnings, which is part of the Equity.

Assets are the resources owned by the business, while liabilities are financial obligations to third parties that contribute to the owned resources.  Equity is the funds contributed by the stockholders, including the earnings retained from business.  Equity, therefore, represents the ownership interest in the assets after liabilities have been deducted.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
