Yes, they should.
on the debit side of the balance sheet, we have the assets of a company. There are current assets and fixed assets and they should be equal to the Liabilities + the equity of a company.
Accounting is based on the formula of Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity. the DR side of a balance sheet are the Assets while the CR side records Liabilities & Owner's Equity. Hence for the formula to be effective, both side of the balance sheet must be equal (balance). PS: It's not the asset and liabilities side but rather the Debit and Credit side.
The total assets (balance) equal the sources of funding for resources; liabilities (external borrowings) and equity (owners' contributions and earnings from firm operations).

Yes assets are equal to liabilities. As liabilities are source of financing either inform of equity or inform of debt. With help of liabilities (equity+debts) assets are financed.
Balance sheet tallies all of the assets, liabilities and capital accounts of a financial entity - could be a business enterprise or your own personal financial status. The balance sheet is formally known as the statement of financial position. It is a snapshot of the financial position of an economic entity on any given day. On a balance sheet the total of all assets are equal to the sum of all liabilities and capital. The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Capital. It is a restatement of the algebraic equation Assets minus Liabilities equals Capital.
Yes true, as at any time the balance sheet should be equal so if liabilities and equity is 500000 then asset side should also be at 500000.
Liabilities are been responsible for something. Assets is been able to own something.

No. Owners Equity is equal to Business Assets less Business Liabilities.
You need more information than that to create a balance sheet. There are three primary components of a Balance Sheet: Assets, Liabilities, and Stockholder's Equity. Assets are probable future economic benefits to the company. Liabilities are obligations by the company that will require the sacrifice of future benefits. Stockholder's Equity is the ownership interest in the company. Your total assets will always equal the sum of your Liabilities and Stockholder's Equity.
