    The ending liability is $100,000

    Explanation:

    In this question, we use the accounting equation i. e

    Total Assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

    Since the total assets value are given and by considering the other items which are mentioned in the question we can find the ending balance of retained earnings

    So, the ending balance of retained earning = balance + Net income - dividend

    = $300,000 + $250,000 - $50,000

    = $500,000

    And, the stockholder equity is not given, So the value of ending liability equals to

    $600,000 - $500,000 = $100,000
