Answer 1

$7,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Equity of a company is Total Assets minus Total liabilities. Equity is the business worth for shareholders. For Crusoe Waterworks Company the equity will be the initial capital investment by Robin Crusoe plus any revenue received from the business operations.
