Answer 1

Answer:

A) $ 40,000

Explanation:

Cash $ 15,000

Inventories $100,000

Plant and equipment, net $250,000

total assets $365,000

Accounts payable $ 90,000

Loans payable $300,000

Equity (deficit) ($25,000)

total liabilities and equity $365,000

Assets not realized would be assets that are left over and haven't been sold  yet (or converted to cash) by the trustee

• inventories = $100,000 total - $60,000 realized = $40,000 not realized
• plant and equipment was all sold
• cash doesn't have to be realized
