a) December 31, 2013 Owner's equity = 508,000

b) December 31, 2014 Owner's equity = 420,000

Explanation:

Accounting Equation Formula: Owner's Equity = Assets - Liabilities

A) Way to Go LLC December 31, 2013

Owner's Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Owner's Equity = 669,000 - 161,000

Owner's Equity = 508,000

B) Way to Go LLC December 31, 2014

Owner's Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Owner's Equity = (669,000-127,000) - (161,000-39,000)

Owner's Equity = 420,000
