    I'm an accounting student. I am stuck on an example problem. If asset is $259,000 and equity is $194,250 at the beginning of the month; then asset increase $80,000 and liability increase to $52,643 what will equity be at the end of the month

    The accounting Equation is:
    Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

    Therefore: Liabilites = Assets - Owners Equity.

    First you need to figure out your beginning Liabilities.
    Beginning Assets - Beginning Owners Equity = beginning Liabilities.

    Next add the amounts given to your Assets and Liabilities to get your ending Assets and Liabilities.

    Finally you need to solve for ending Owners Equity.
    Ending Assets - ending Liabilities = ending Owners Equity.
