Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

The computation of the liabilities at the end of the year is shown below:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + equity

where,

Total assets are

= Begining balance + increased assets

= $30,000 + $20,000

= $50,000

And, the equity is

= Starting balance + revenues - expenses - withdrawn amount

= $20,000 + $45,000 - $30,000 - $5,000

= $30,000

So, the liabilities is

= $50,000 - $30,000

= $20,000
