Answer: 145000.00
The Basic Accounting Equation is Assets = Equity + Liabilities, therefore Equity = Assets í
Liabilities.
First calculate total assets:
Equipment 150000 + Delivery van 100000 + Debtors 36000 = 286000
Then calculate total liabilities:
Creditors 86000 + Bank overdraft 55000 = 141000
Now calculate equity:
Equity = 286000 í 141000 = 145000.00
Therefore, the equity of SA Traders
