Show answer
Answer: A) Tk. 1,500
Explanation
Liabilities are Tk. 1,500. The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity, so Liabilities = Assets − Equity = 3,500 − 2,000 = Tk. 1,500. Every asset is financed either by outsiders (liabilities) or by owners (equity), and the two must add up to total assets.
