started the year with total assets of $30,000 and total owner's equity of $20,000. During the year a) assets increased by $20,000, b) the business recorded $45,000 in revenues, c) the business recorded $30,000 in expenses, and d) the owner withdrew $5,000 for personal use. Liabilities at the end of the year were:

$20,000

Explanation:

The computation of the liabilities at the end of the year is shown below:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + equity

where,

Total assets are

= Begining balance + increased assets

= $30,000 + $20,000

= $50,000

And, the equity is

= Starting balance + revenues - expenses - withdrawn amount

= $20,000 + $45,000 - $30,000 - $5,000

= $30,000

So, the liabilities is

= $50,000 - $30,000

= $20,000

previous business sales - c.
