a. Alice has $5,000 cash, owes $20,000 credit card debt due immediately and 100% owns a sole tradership business with assets worth $30,000 and liabilities of $10,000.
b. Billy has $5,000 cash, lent $20,000 to his friend, and doesn't have any personal debt or own any businesses.
c. Carla has $5,000 cash, owes $10,000 credit card debt due immediately and 100% owns a corporate business with assets worth $20,000 and liabilities of $30,000.
d. Darren has $10,000 cash, owes $20,000 credit card debt due immediately and 100% owns a sole tradership business with assets worth $40,000 and liabilities of $10,000.
e. Ernie has $10,000 cash, owes $10,000 credit card debt due immediately and 100% owns a corporate business with assets worth $20,000 and liabilities of $40,000.
