    The total liabilities for the next year amount to 37163 $.

    Explanation:

    To calculate the liability we will use the simple equation given below.

    Asset-equity=liability

    Assets-RE=Liability

    Current year Change * Next Year

    Assets 180,506.00 29,506.00 151,000.00

    Common Stock (11,365.00) 0 (11,365.00)

    Retain Earning (92,472.00) (10,000.00) (102,472.00)

    Liability - BaL figure 76,669.00 37,163.00

    *Retain earning = Net profit - dividend

    Hence balancing figure that is 37,163 dollars is liabilty for next year,
