The balance of total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity is $640,000, $440,000 and $200,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of the balance of total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity after considering the lease payment is shown below:

For Total assets

= Total assets balance + present value of lease payments

= $600,000 + $40,000

= $640,000

For Total liabilities

= Total liabilities balance + present value of lease payments

= $400,000 + $40,000

= $440,000

And, the total stockholders' equity is $200,000

While computing the stockholder equity, the lease payment does not have an impact on the stockholder equity so the balance would remain the same as before
