Increase in total assets generates increase in either one of liablity account or ultimately an equity account.
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.

Assets increase by $4,000.00 Owner's Equity must decrease by $4,000.00
increase the company's total assets.
If total liabilites increased would assests or stockholders equity?
An increase in total assets means an increase in equity. Equity is tock or any other security representing an ownership interest.
Take a look at a DuPont decomposition of ROE (Profit Margin x Total Asset Turnover x Leverage (defined as Total Assets/Shareholder Equity))...as long as a firm's borrowing cost is lower than the marginal return it earns on the investment in which it invests the funds, ROE would increase along with its leverage.
Total equity and common equity are separate things where there is preference shares are also issued in that case only shares issued to common share holders are included in common equity while in total equity shares issued to preference shareholders are also included.
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.
this ratio shows how much income is generated by equity of the company. it is a great contributor towards profitability of a company. return on equity is calculated as follows:Return on equity = (Net income / Total equity) x 100
If total assets decreased by $88,000 during a period of time and owner's equity increased by $65,000 during the same period, then the amount and direction (increase or decrease) of the period's change in total liabilities is d. $153,000 decrease
