Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the accounting equation

The accounting equation is: Assets=Liabilities+Equity \text{Assets} = \text{Liabilities} + \text{Equity} This equation must always hold true for any company.

Step 2: Solve for liabilities in part (a)

Given:

  • Total assets = \$900,000
  • Equity = \$520,000

Using the accounting equation: Liabilities=Assets−Equity \text{Liabilities} = \text{Assets} - \text{Equity} Substitute the given values: Liabilities=900,000−520,000=380,000 \text{Liabilities} = 900,000 - 520,000 = 380,000

Step 3: Solve for liabilities and equity in part (b)

Given:

  • Total assets = \$700,000
  • Liabilities and equity are equal to each other.

Let L L represent liabilities and E E represent equity. Since L=E L = E , the accounting equation becomes: Assets=L+E \text{Assets} = L + E Substitute L=E L = E and the given assets: 700,000=L+L=2L 700,000 = L + L = 2L Solve for L L : L=700,0002=350,000 L = \frac{700,000}{2} = 350,000 Since L=E L = E , equity is also: E=350,000 E = 350,000

Final Answer

a. The amount of liabilities is 380,000\boxed{380,000}.

b. The amount of liabilities is 350,000\boxed{350,000}, and the amount of equity is 350,000\boxed{350,000}.
