The accounting equation — Answer key

Work through each question. Show your reasoning where space is provided.

  1. 1. A business has assets of 2500 and liabilities of 300, all in the same currency. Calculate equity.

    2200

    Assets = liabilities + equity. Equity = 2500 − 300 = 2200.

  2. 2. A business has assets of 2600 and liabilities of 1200, all in the same currency. Calculate equity.

    1400

    Assets = liabilities + equity. Equity = 2600 − 1200 = 1400.

  3. 3. A business has assets of 3700 and liabilities of 2800, all in the same currency. Calculate equity.

    900

    Assets = liabilities + equity. Equity = 3700 − 2800 = 900.

  4. 4. A business has assets of 1400 and liabilities of 700, all in the same currency. Calculate equity.

    700

    Assets = liabilities + equity. Equity = 1400 − 700 = 700.

  5. 5. A business has assets of 2200 and liabilities of 1200, all in the same currency. Calculate equity.

    1000

    Assets = liabilities + equity. Equity = 2200 − 1200 = 1000.
