Mark West · Answer 1

a. liabilities are $32,000

Explanation:

Note: In question part $75,000 shall represent equity, as there are only 3 parts of balance sheet assets, equity and liabilities, if assets are given liabilities is what we need to calculate the missing is equity.

Thus, $75,000 is treated as equity.

In that case we have,

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

$107,000 = $75,000 + Liabilities

Assets - Equity = Liabilities

$107,000 - $75,000 = Liabilities

$32,000 = Liabilities

Therefore, correct option is

a. liabilities are $32,000
