Company X

Jan Assets = Jan Liabilities + Jan Equity
360 = 280 + ?
Therefore, Owners’ equity: January 1, 2006 = 360-280 = 80


Owners’ equity: December 31, 2006 = Jan 1 OE + Revenue – Expenses = 80 + 80 – 100 = 60


Liabilities: December 31, 2006 = Assets Dec – OE Dec = 380 – 60 = 320


What do you think the answers are from Company Y and Z?
