Answer:
a. Total liabilities = $280,000
b. Total liabilities = $250,000
Total equity -= $250,000
Explanation:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholder equity
So in the first case
The amount of the liabilities is
Total liabilities = Total assets - Total equity
= $700,000 - $420,000
= $280,000
And, in the second case, the total assets is $500,000
And, the liabilities and equity amounts are equal to each other
So in this case, the liabilities is $250,000 and the equity is $250,000
