Equity = market value − mortgage balance. Initially 225,000 − 200,000 = 25,000.

a) 245,000 − 200,000 = 45,000 → equity increases (select).
b) 200,000 − 200,000 = 0 → equity decreases (don’t select).
c) 225,000 − 198,790 = 26,210 → equity increases (select).
d) 225,000 − 200,052 = 24,948 → equity decreases (don’t select).

Answer: a and c.
