Accounting Equation

John Joos is the owner and operator of You’re A Star, a motivational consulting business. At the end of its accounting period, December 31, 2009, You’re A Star has assets of $800,000 and liabilities of $350,000. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts:

a. Owner’s equity, as of December 31, 2009.

b. Owner’s equity, as of December 31, 2010, assuming that assets increased by $130,000 and liabilities decreased by $25,000 during 2010.

Example Exercise1-2 continued For Practice: PE 1-2A, PE 1-2B1-35

a. Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity $800,000 = $350,000 + Owner’s Equity

Owner’s Equity = $450,000

Follow My Example 1-2

Example Exercise 1-2 (continued)

b. First, determine the change in Owner’s Equity during 2010 as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity $130,000 = –$25,000 + Owner’s Equity

Owner’s Equity = $155,000

Next, add the change in Owner’s Equity on December 31, 2009 to arrive at Owner’s Equity on December 31, 2010, as shown below:

$605,000 = $450,000 + $155,000
