The total assets grew by 15% (75,000/500,000) and growth was financed in equity by $30,000 and liabilities by $45,000. An increase in equity could mean that the company incurred profit for the period or additional issuance of stocks in the equity. On the other hand, the increase in liability could mean that the company availed another loan from creditors.
