Answer:
Total assets at the end of the year = $346000
Explanation:
The accounting equation as we all know is,
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
The equity at the start of the year is reported as 177000.
We need to calculate the assets at the end of the year. For that, we need Equity at the end of the year. The only chanage to equity till the end of the year is the addition of profit.
Profit = Revenue - Expenses = 242000 - 181000 = 61000
Thus, equity at the end of the year = 177000 + 61000 = 238000
Thus Assets at the end of the year are,
Assets = 108000 + 238000
Assets = $346000
