No, stockholders' equity plus accounts receivable does not equal liabilities. Stockholders' equity represents the owners' claim on the assets after liabilities are subtracted, while accounts receivable is an asset reflecting money owed to the company. The accounting equation states that assets equal liabilities plus equity (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). Therefore, liabilities are calculated as assets minus equity, not by adding stockholders' equity to accounts receivable.
Yes, the collection of Accounts Receivable increases Stockholders' Equity indirectly. When a company collects amounts owed from customers, it converts those receivables into cash, which increases its assets. As total assets increase while liabilities remain unchanged, the overall equity of the company increases, enhancing Stockholders' Equity. However, it's important to note that this effect is realized only when the revenue was previously recognized and recorded.
Accounts receivable would appear as an asset (+) on a balance sheet.

No, accounts receivable is not considered owner's equity. Accounts receivable represents money owed to a business by its customers for goods or services provided on credit, and it is classified as a current asset on the balance sheet. Owner's equity, on the other hand, represents the residual interest in the assets of the business after deducting liabilities. In summary, while accounts receivable contributes to the overall assets of a business, it does not directly constitute owner's equity.

On May 31 of the current year, the assets and liabilities of Riser, Inc. are as follows: Cash $11,300; Accounts Receivable, $6,700; Supplies, $650; Equipment, $11,200; Accounts Payable, $8,600. What is the amount of stockholders' equity as of May 31 of the current year?
The denominator is the stockholders' (assuming there is more than one stockholder) equity
If liabilities have increased by the same amount as assets, stockholders' equity will remain unchanged. This is because the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity) will still hold true, as both sides of the equation will increase equally. Therefore, the overall financial position of the company remains balanced, with no effect on stockholders' equity.
Remember that in accounting, the Mother of All Equations is: Assets - Liabilities = Stockholders' Equity Anything that increases or decreases your assets or liabilities is going to cause your Stockholders' Equity to change as well.
No, accounts receivable are not classified under liabilities or equity on a balance sheet. They are classified as current assets, representing money owed to a company by its customers for goods or services delivered. Liabilities reflect obligations the company owes to others, while equity represents the owners' interest in the company.
