so when assets is increase then increase in shareholder or liability or increase in combination or decrease in asset

so here given assets increase $89000

so it must be as per given liability increase by $67000

so balance will be = $89000- $67000 = $22000

it will either increase equity or the decrease in another assets

so here equity in the business increase by $22000
