b. Prepare an income statement, statement of changes in stockholders' equity, and a balance sheet.
c. Explain why the income statement uses different terminology to date the income statement than is used to date the balance sheet.

See the explanation below:

Explanation:

a. Create an accounting equation and record the effects of each accounting event under the appropriate general ledger account headings.

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity   (1)

Cash is a component of Asset, therefore the transaction will affect assets or cash as follows:

Asset: +  $28,600,  - $13,200, - $1,500

Cash balance = Asset = $28,600  - $13,200 - $1,500 = $13,900

Retained Earnings  is a component of Stockholders' Equity , therefore the transaction will affect Stockholders' Equity  or Stockholders' Equity as follows:

Retained Earnings;   +  $28,600,  - $13,200, - $1,500

Retained Earnings = $28,600  - $13,200 - $1,500 = $13,900 = Stockholders' Equity

Liabilities = 0. This is because the three transactions does not affect liabilities

Substituting the values into the equation (1), we have:

$13,900 = 0 + $13,900

b. Prepare an income statement, statement of changes in stockholders' equity, and a balance sheet.
