During the year, it paid off its $15,000 accounts payable using cash, and its accounts receivable increased by $4,000. It also bought $10,000 equipment using cash.

Answer 1

The answer is: In year 2, Roger Company's total assets are $139,000 and its total liabilities are $85,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with total assets and liabilities:

Assets - we add accounts receivable and equipment, we subtract cash paid for accounts payable and equipment.

Liabilities - we subtract accounts payable that were paid off
