    The answer is: A) $40,000

    Explanation:

    All you have to do is calculate the difference between registered equity value (Sanson had $80,000 and Jeremy had $120,000) with the current market prices.

    $240,000 - ($80,000 + $120,000) = $40,000

    This $40,000 difference is called market value added (MVA).
