Leland Proctor · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Retained earnings are actually $800,000, but the company only has $50,000 in cash. Total assets are $1.4 million, but fixed assets are the largest account ($900,000). Big Dog would have to liquidate almost all of their inventory in order to pay for the asset.

The best thing they can do is purchase the asset on credit, since they do not have a lot of debt (liabilities).
