A decrease in assets paired with an increase in equity typically occurs when a company revalues its assets or recognizes a loss. For instance, if a firm sells an asset for less than its book value, it reduces total assets but may simultaneously increase equity through retained earnings if the asset was previously revalued upwards. Additionally, this can happen during processes like stock buybacks, where cash (an asset) is used to repurchase shares, thereby increasing equity by reducing outstanding shares.

If your total liabilities decrease by 46000 and owners equity increased by 60000 during the same period what is the amount and increase or decrease of the total change in assets?

To determine the change in total assets, we can use the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity. If total liabilities decrease by $46,000 and owners' equity increases by $60,000, the net change in assets would be a decrease of $46,000 plus an increase of $60,000, resulting in a total increase of $14,000 in assets.
