There is no point in writing out a full question and expecting to be provided with a full answer! You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about what it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain. (If you have been given this as a test question and therefore do not have an answer, then my free lectures explain everything needed to be able to answer it. Although obviously you can not be asked to prepare the full statements in the real exam itself.)

My problem is, from my calculations the statement can't balance.. from total asset I found 70 250 therefore I can't find the same from total liabilities and equity
