Explanation:

1. Addison Company Computation of Year end equity

Opening Equity $ 100,000

By the fundamental accounting equation

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

The increases during the year are:

$ 80,000 = $ 50,000 + Increase in equity

By solving the equation, the increase in equity is $ 30,000

Year end equity $ 130,000

2. Office Store Computation of Year end equity

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

$ 123,000 = $ 47,000 + Equity

By solving the equation

Year end Equity is $ 76,000

3. Quaker Company Computations

Determination of opening equity balance

Opening Assets = Year end asset 190,000 - Increase $ 60,000 = $ 130,000

Opening Liabilities $ 70,000

Assets - Liabilities = Owners Equity - Beginning $ 60,000

Determination of ending equity balance

Year End Liabilities = Opening Liabilities - Decrease

$ 70,000 - $ 5,000 = $ 65,000

Year end assets $ 190,000

Year end Assets - Year end Liabilities = Year end Equity

$ 190,000 - $ 65,000 = $ 125,000
