Explanation:

The complete question reads; In each case, identify whether the item is an asset, liability, stockholders' equity, revenue, or expense item.

To answer this, the elements of a balance sheet are assets, liabilities and equity.

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

Revenue and expenses are elements of income statement.
