Explanation / Answer

Accounting equation or Balance sheet equation is

Assets = Stockholder's Equity + Total Liabilites

As per Apples Balance sheet on 09/30/2017:

Assets = $375,319 million = $375,319,000,000

Stockholders or Shareholders Equity = $134,047 million = $134,047,000,000

Total liabilites = $241,272 million = $241,272,000,000
