Nickolas · Answer 1

a. $1.38 billion

Explanation:

total assets = total liabilities

total Liabilities = liabilities + shareholders fund

shareholders fund=common stock + retained earning as on the balance sheet date

retained earnings as on bs date = profit at the year-end - loss at the beginning of the year

=60-40 = 20 million

shareholders fund = 520+20

=540

total liabilities=840+540=1380million i. e 1.38 billion

therefore total asset=1.38 billion

Therefore option A is correct
