    $ 22,550 decrease Your assets decrease by $26, 700 to pay for the liability decrease ( cash to pay for bills). An increase in OE means you made a profit of $4,150 to add equity. At close of period your profit transfers to OE. I am a controller and do this for a living so I give you my best advice.
