    First you have to calculate the beginning year liabilities by sutracting beginning year Equity from beginning year Assets, then increase Assets and Liabilities by the amount stated to get the ending year Assets and Liabilities.

    Then you subtract ending year Liabilities from ending year Assets to get ending year Equity.
