Exercise 1-9 (20 minutes)
a. Using the accounting equation at the beginning of the year:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Using the accounting equation at the end of the year:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
$300,000 + $80,000 = $200,000+ $50,000 + ?
Alternative approach to solving part (b):
Assets($80,000) = Liabilities($50,000) + Equity(?)
where “” refers to “change in.”
b. Using the accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
$123,000 = $47,000 + ?
c. Using the accounting equation at the end of the year:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
$190,000 = $70,000 – $5,000 + ?
Using the accounting equation at the beginning of the year:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
$190,000 – $60,000 = $70,000 + ?
$130,000 = $70,000 + ?
