Gina Wolfe · Answer 1

B. 51,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total assets at the end of the year is shown below:

= Opening balance of asset account + revenue collected - expenses incurred + additional assets purchased + additional cash invested in the business

= $30,000 + $30,000 - $34,000 + $15,000 + $10,000

= $51,000

Simply we deduct the expenses incurred and the rest of the items are to be added in the beginning balance of asset account so that the accurate amount can come.
