Question

Sam invests $5,000 of his own money in his new auto detailing business. He then obtains a loan and builds a small workshop in his backyard for $10,000. At this point assets are ____, liabilities are ____, and owners' equity is ____.

Answer 1

Assets= 15,000

Liabilities= 10,000

Owner's equity= 5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When he invests 5,000 of his own money that 5,000 is an asset as it is cash and the 10,000 he borrows is also an asset as it is cash. The liabilities are 10,000 as he has to pay 10,000 back and it is a loan so it is a liability also.

The owners equity is 5,000 as he invested 5,000 of his own money in the business and that is owners equity.
