You just have amounts listed, not what the amounts are for, so you do not have enough information provided to solve your problem.

I'm sorry about the amounts, they were not supposed to be there. Blanca

The basic accounting equation is:
Assets = Equity + Liabilities

You only have the Equity amount so you do not have enough information to solve for Assets. You have to know Liabilities or have a way to solve for liabilities with additional information.

Based on what you have posted you should have some additional information for year 2008 or 2009 that will allow you to solve for Assets at year end 2009.
