    a. $606,000

    b. $500,000

    Explanation:

    As we know that

    Accounting equation is

    Total assets = Total stockholder equity + Total liabilities

    a. The total stockholder equity is

    = Total assets - total liabilities

    = $798,000 - $192,000

    = $606,000

    b. Now in case of decrease in assets and liabilities, the total stockholder equity is

    = Total assets - total liabilities

    = ($798,000 - $152,000) - ($192,000 - $46,000)

    = $646,000 - $146,000

    = $500,000
