Answer
Since we know that Total assets= Total Liabilities + shareholders equity
Therfore, Shareholders equity=Total asset - Total Liablities
(a) for accounting period ending 31st december 20y2 Be-The-One is a motivational consulting business
Total assets = $395,000
Total Liabilities=$97,000
Shareholders Equity= $395,000-$97,000=$298,000(answer)
(b) Now if Total assets decreased by $65,000 during year 20y3
Total assets = $395,000 - $65,000 =$330,000
Liabilities increased by $36,000 during year 20y3
Liabilities = $97,000 + $36,000=$133,000
Therfore,Shareholders equity as on 31st Dec 20y3= $330,000-$133,000=$197,000(answer)
