    The amount of equity as at May 31 of the current year is $38,900

    Explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of equity as of May 31st of Riser Inc given the list and values of its liabilities and assets. We use a mathematical approach.

    Mathematically,

    Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

    Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies + Equipment = Accounts Payable + Stockholders' Equity

    $27,000 + $7,950 + $1,300 + $12,700 = $10,050 + Stockholders' Equity

    $48,950 = $10,050 + Stockholders' Equity

    Stockholders' Equity = $48,950 - $10,050

    Stockholders' Equity = $38,900
