Response to the following problem:
You have been enthusiastically explaining the accounting equation to all of your friends.

For example, he says that in addition to the equation Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity, there are also the equations Revenues = Assets, Net Income = Cash from Operating Activities, and Retained Earnings = Cash. Comment on these three additional accounting "equations" listed by your friend.
