1. Cash decreases by $200,000
2. Liabilities decrease by $100,000
3. Equity increases by $400,000

What is the value for Other Assets on March 31, 2021?

Answer 1

Answer: $3,300,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Accounting formula:

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

Total equity and liabilities on March 31 is:

= Beginning balance - decrease in liabilities + Increase in Equity

= 5,000,000 - 100,000 + 400,000

= $5,300,000

Assets therefore has to be $5,300,000 on the same date.

Assets = New cash balance + Other assets

5,300,000 = (2,200,000 - 200,000) + Other assets

Other assets = 5,300,000 - 2,000,000

= $3,300,000
