Assets = 80,000

Explanation:

According to the transaction analysis model:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings = Net Income - Dividends

and

Net Income = Income - Expenses

If all substitutions are made the result is referred to as the expanded accounting equation, because it yields the breakdown of the equity component of the equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income - Expenses - Dividends

In the Roseland Company's case:

Assets = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income - Expenses - Dividends

Assets = 24,000 + 25,000 + 68,000 - 32,000 - 5,000

Assets = 80,000
