    c. represents the residual value of a firm.

    Explanation:

    The residual value of a firm is the value of firm's all asset after paying all liabilities of the firms. It is also known as the net worth of the firm.

    Example:

    Total Asset of the firm = $100,000

    Total Liabilities of the firm = $45,000

    Accounting Equation:

    Assets = Equity + Liabilities

    Equity = Assets - Liabilities

    So

    Residual value = Total Asset of the firm - Total Liabilities of the firm

    Residual value = $100,000 - $55,000

    Residual value / Equity = $55,000
