At the end of an accounting period, a company's total assets equaled [tex]\$314,000[/tex], and liabilities equaled [tex]\$241,000[/tex]. How much was the owner's equity?

Owner's Equity = \$ [ ? ]

Round to the nearest hundredth.



Answer :

To determine the owner's equity at the end of the accounting period, you can use the accounting equation:

[tex]\[ \text{Owner's Equity} = \text{Total Assets} - \text{Total Liabilities} \][/tex]

In this scenario, we are given:

- Total Assets = \[tex]$314,000 - Total Liabilities = \$[/tex]241,000

We need to calculate:

[tex]\[ \text{Owner's Equity} = \$314,000 - \$241,000 \][/tex]

Perform the subtraction:

[tex]\[ \$314,000 - \$241,000 = \$73,000 \][/tex]

Therefore, the owner's equity is:

[tex]\[ \text{Owner's Equity} = \$73,000 \][/tex]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the owner's equity remains \[tex]$73,000. Hence, the answer is: \[ \text{Owner's Equity} = \$[/tex]73,000 \]
