Solution

As per accounting equation,

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

So, at the beginning of the year,

$247,000 = Liabilities + $185,250

So, Liabilities = $247,000 - $185,250

= $ 61,750

Now, at the end of the year,

Assets = Assets at the beginning of the year + $80,000

= $247,000 + $80,000

= $ 327,000

Liabilities = Liabilities at the beginning of the year + $43,000

= $61,750 + $43,000

= $104,750

So, Equity at year end

= Assets – Liabilities

= $ 327,000 - $104,750

= $222,250
