Alternative approach to solving part (b):
Assets($80,000) = Liabilities($50,000) + Equity(?)
where “” refers to “change in.”
Thus: Ending Equity = $100,000 + $30,000 = $130,000
b. Using the accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
c. Using the accounting equation at the end of the year:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Using the accounting equation at the beginning of the year:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
