Answer:
a. liabilities are $32,000
Explanation:
Note: In question part $75,000 shall represent equity, as there are only 3 parts of balance sheet assets, equity and liabilities, if assets are given liabilities is what we need to calculate the missing is equity.
Thus, $75,000 is treated as equity.
In that case we have,
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
$107,000 = $75,000 + Liabilities
Assets - Equity = Liabilities
$107,000 - $75,000 = Liabilities
$32,000 = Liabilities
Therefore, correct option is
a. liabilities are $32,000
