What is the equity at the end of the year? pready Sep 9, 2009, 03:26 PM You have to know the account equation: Assets=Liabilities+Shareholders' Equity You need to calculate your ending Assets and Liabilities, then use the equation to figure out the ending Equity. Shareholders' Equity=Assets-Liabilities soccer17 Sep 10, 2009, 12:00 PM i am wondering if u or any body kno's the answer to this problem beacuse i wanna chack and see if i got it right.

All you need is right there in Pready's first post: Assets = Liabilities + Equity The problem gives you two of the three ingredients for the beginning of the year--then you find the third. Then use that same equation again for the end of the year, after figuring in the changes to assets and liabilities that you're given. morgaine300 Sep 11, 2009, 07:35 PM It helps if you also show your work, not just your answer. That way we can see where you are going wrong. Copyright ©2005-, Ask Me Help Desk
