Answer:
The answer is D. The asset of the business must have increased $45,000
Explanation:
Accounting equation:
Equity = Asset - Liability
OR
Asset = Equity + Liability.
In general, total assets must always be equal to the addition of equity and Liability.
The total liability increased by $75,000 and the equity decreased by $30,000.
Asset = Equity + liability
Asset = - $30,000 + $75,000
Asset = $45,000 (+$45,000)
