    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
