Solution

To calculate equity, we first need to calculate the total assets and total liabilities of Excavators Ltd.

Total assets are the sum of cash, inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, and motor vehicles.

Total Assets = Cash + Inventory + Accounts Receivable + Equipment + Motor Vehicles Total Assets = 8,000+8,000 + 8,500 + 4,200+4,200 + 14,500 + 22,000=22,000 = 57,200

Total liabilities are the sum of accounts payable, wages payable, and loan payable.

Total Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Wages Payable + Loan Payable Total Liabilities = 15,000+15,000 + 2,000 + 15,000=15,000 = 32,000

Equity is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets.

Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities Equity = 57,20057,200 - 32,000 = $25,200

So, the amount for equity is $25,200.
