ANSWER-
Always the total assets is equal to total liabilities plus equity.
Given in question total assets = $204,000 and Total Liabilities = $78,500
Therefore, total assets = total liabilities + equity
$204,000 = $78,500 + equity
Equity = $204,000 - $78,500 = $125,500.
Equity includes Capital, revenue and retained earnings minus dividend.
Given in question total revenue = $237,000
Adding total revenue to equity we get total equity which is,
Total equity = $125,500 + $237,000 = $362,500
To know the balance in the owner's capital account at the end of the year we will subtract total expenses and withdrawals from total equity,
Total expenses = $183,500 and withdrawals = $50,000
Balance in owers capital = $362,500 - $183500 - $50,000 = $ 129,000
Hence, the balance in the owner's capital account at the end of the year is $129,000.
So, the answer is 2nd option $129,000
