Answer: B

The company begins with $5,000 cash and equity. Delivery adds $4,000 supplies and $4,000 Accounts Payable. Paying $1,500 reduces cash and the payable by the same amount. Ending cash is $3,500, supplies are $4,000, total assets are $7,500, liabilities are $2,500, and equity is $5,000. Choice B is correct.
