1.

Total Equity = $5300

2.

Total Liabilities = $14840

Explanation:

1.

The basic accounting equation states that the value of total assets is always equal to the sum of the values of total liabilities and the total equity. Thus, the equation can be written as,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

14700 = 9400 + Total Equity

14700 - 9400 = Total Equity

Total Equity = $5300

2.

The new value of assets and equity after increase is,

Total Assets = 14700 + 3700 = $18400

Total Equity = 5300 - 1740  =  $3560

So, the new value of total liabilities will be,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

18400 = Total Liabilities + 3560

18400 - 3560 = Total Liabilities

Total Liabilities = $14840
