Answer 1

$165,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In every balance sheet, the accounting equation has used that means

Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholder equity

In this question also, this same accounting equation is used

where,

Total asset is $300,000

And, the shareholder equity is $135,000

Now put these values to the above equation

So, the value would equal to

= $300,000 - $135,000

= $165,000
