Assets, liabilities, and capital are the three key components that make up the accounting equation. The entrepreneur Conner invested $1000 cash and a $500 cooler as capital to start his new soft drink business, Cee Drinks. As assets, Cee Drinks owns the cooler, $760 cash, an $800 ice maker purchased on credit, and $240 in soft drink stock. The sole liability is the $800 owed to Keenan Ltd for the ice maker. When applied to Cee Drinks, the accounting equation balances with total assets of $2300 equaling the $800 liability plus $1500 in capital invested.
