    The net book value of the company = $3,415,000

    Explanation:

    The historical cost concept states that assets should be stated at their historical cost. Under this concept, the value of a company is the the net-book value of its assets. The net book value of an asset is its historical cost less the accumulated depreciation to date.

    The book value of the delivery company

    Net fixed assets $3, 200,000

    Net working capital $215,000

    Total book value $3,415,000

    The net book value of the company = $3,415,000
