Answer 1

Answer:

$2.2 million

Explanation:

Given that

Total asset = 3.5 million

Total liabilities = 1.3 million

Recall that,

Networth (owner's or shareholder's equity) = Total asset - Total liabilities

Therefore

Networth = 3.5 million - 1.3 million

= 2.2 million

Thus,

Owner's equity for this business on paper is $2.2 million based on info provided.
