Owner's equity is affected by several accounts, including capital contributions, retained earnings, and withdrawals or distributions. Capital contributions increase equity when owners invest more money into the business. Retained earnings, which consist of profits that are reinvested rather than distributed, also enhance equity over time. Conversely, withdrawals or distributions reduce owner's equity as they represent money taken out of the business by the owners.
