    Find missing liabilities using the Accounting Equation.
    Calculate the amount of liabilities for Company E on December 31, 2010.

    Company E:
    December 31, 2010
    Assets: $123,000
    Liabilities: ?
    December 31, 2011
    Assets: $112,500
    Liabilities: $75,000
    During year 2011
    Stock issuances: $4,500
    Net income: $18,000
    Cash Dividends: $9,000

    I came up with $99,000. I found the equity for 2011 and subtracted the stocks and income and added the dividends to come up with $24,000 for the equity for 2010. Then subtracted that from the Assets for 2010 for the total of $99,000. I am wondering if I did this right?
