A balance sheet shows the financial position of a company at the end of a given financial period. It consists of 3 broad categories, namely, assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.

Part (a) The shareholders equity is $145,000

Part (b) Option B best describes the balance sheet

Explanation:

Part (a)

Equity can be calculated from the following formula:

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = ($10,000 cash + $200,000 Store  + $100,000 Property + $22,000 Accounts receivable) - ($17,000 Accounts payable + $170,000 Long-term debt)

Equity = $332,000 + $ $187,000 = $145,000

Part (b)

The reason is that the balance sheet presents the financial position of the company and financial position means how much the company is worth?, how much it has to pay its debts? and how much it has financed assets from its personal funds (equity and retained earnings). Balance sheets are published at the end of each accounting period. So option b is correct option here.

the answer is b. the events might happen and are based on crimes.

d. all of the above are true.
