Explanation / Answer

Adjustments during the period should be considered here:

Cash = Beginning + Increase in cash – Dividend paid = 30,000 + 100,000 – 300,000 = -$170,000

Liabilities = Beginning + Increase in liabilities = 33,000 + 300,000 = $333,000

Equity = Beginning + Net income – Dividends = 21,000 + 1,300 – 300,000 = -$277,000

All the above figures are balance sheet figures, should appear as at 31/03/2018.

Accounting equation of balance sheet:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Cash + Other assets = Liabilities + Equity

(-170,000) + Other assets = 333,000 + (-277,000)

-170,000 + Other assets = 333,000 – 277,000

Other assets = 333,000 – 277,000 + 170,000

                     = 226,000 (Answer)

Checking:

Assets = Cash + Other assets = -170,000 + 226,000 = $56,000

Liabilities + Equity = 333,000 – 277,000 = $56,000

The equation satisfied.
