c) $90.000

Step-by-step explanation:

common stock is easy to sell, but is not real money at the time of liquidation.

Assets are count as money, but is necessary to pay de debts, (liabilities).

At the time of liquidation, $200.000 (assets) - $120.000 (liabilities) = $80.000

+ Retained earnings ($10.000) = $90.000.
