Answer:
Equity of the business= $17,076.
Explanation:
Equity as used in business is used to refer to the difference between the worth of a business (its assets) and what the business owes (debts and liabilities).
In other words, total equity refers to the value which is left in the company after the total liabilities must have been subtracted from the total assets.
The formula to calculate total equity is given below:
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Therefore to calculate the equity above, we have:
Equity = $64,342 - $47,266
Equity = $17,076.
