Equity = Total assets less all outside liabilities 

1000000+10000+20000-0=1030000

As you are familiar the basic accounting equation is Assets = Equities. You are also familiar that the term equity comprises the creditor's equity and the owner's equity. So, if there is no liability(creditor's equity), then simply you know that asset = owner's equity which is :1000,000 + $20,000 + $10,000

My answer is (4) $1,030,000.

 

Owner’s equity is the residual amount after deducting liabilities from assets. Since liability is zero, total assets equals owner’s equity.
