There are some mistakes in the video. The Year 2 long-term debt should be the same as that of Year 1 ($3,650).
For Year 2, total liabilities and equity SHOULD NOT be equal to total assets ($13,225).
As Year 2 Long-term debt is $3,650, thus total liabilities and equity for Year 2 should be calculated as
$2,415.00 + $3,650 + $6,159.86 = $12,224.86
