    1. $250,000

    2. $273,000

    3. $455,000

    4. $750,000

    Explanation:

    We know that

    Accounting equation is

    Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholder equity

    1. The equity would be

    = $500,000 - $250,000

    = $250,000

    2. The equity would be

    Total assets = $500,000 + $100,000 = $600,000

    Total liabilities = $250,000 + $77,000 = $327,000

    So, the equity is

    = $600,000 - $327,000

    = $273,000

    3. Total assets

    Total liabilities = $250,000 + $33,000 = $263,000

    Owner equity = $250,000 - $58,000

    = $192,000

    So, the total assets is

    = $263,000 + $192,000

    = $455,000

    4. Total liabilities equal to

    = $1,000,000 - $250,000

    = $750,000
