We can calculate total assets by accounting equation, which is total assets equal to total liabilities plus total equity. Using the basic accounting equation:

Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholders' equity

= total liabilities + (total common stock + Retained earnings)

= $51.391 million + ($2.540 million + 18.432 million)

= $72.363 million

Therefore, total assets of the firm would be $72.363 million.
