the total equity must be10000

In accounting we have the basic formula of Assets=Liabilities+Capital.

Accounting Equation is Total Assets ($15000)=Total Liabilities + Total Shareholders Equity ($15000)

Therefore Total Assets=$15000 (1000+4000+5000+ Fixed Assets5000)

The correct answer is: A) $5000

C) $15,000

Assets = Capital + Liability  hence total assets in this case will be $15,000. However fixed assets will be $5,000 thus Total Assets - Current Assets [15,000 - (1,000 +4,000 +5,000)] which represent cash, inventory and debtors respectively as given in the question.
