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
