    2013 Equity: 298,000

    2014 Equity: 327,000

    Explanation:

    (A)

    Assets = Liabilities + Equity

    395,000 = 97,000 + Equity

    395,000 - 97,000 = Equity

    298,000 = Equity

    (B)

    if asset increase by 65,000

    and liabilities increase by 36,000

    (395,000 + 65,000) = (97,000 + 36,000) + Equity

    460,000 = 133,000 + Equity

    Equity = 460,000 - 133,000 = 327,000
