Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Therefore since ending Assets are 58,000, we know that Liabilities + Owner's Equity must total 58,000

If the owner has invested 6,000, Plus a Net Income of 8,600, Less what he took out of 3,500…………Then Owner's Equity is:

Owner's Equity = 6,000 + 8,600 – 3,500 = 11,100

Therefore, Liabilities must be 58,000 – 11,100 = 46,900
