Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y3, assuming that assets decreased by $65,000 and liabilities increased by $36,000 during 20Y3. $fill in the blank 2

Answer 1

a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y2

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

395,000 = Equity + 97,000

Equity = 395,000 - 97,000

= $298,000

b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y3.

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

(395,000 - 65,000) = Equity + (97,000 + 36,000)

330,000 = Equity + 133,000

Equity = 330,000 - 133,000

= $197,000
