Answer:

C) defensive

Explanation:

Defensive stocks are stocks that generally perform well during economic recessions. In other words, their price is not related to the market tendency. Even if the market goes down, their price remains stable. Generally companies that sell products with a constant demand are considered defensive stocks, e.g. Costco, Target, Walmart, utilities (all, electric, gas, water), etc.

. Based on the following data, Accounts payable…………………………………………………..... $62,000 Accounts receivable…………………………………………………. 100,000
Temka [501]

Answer:  $428,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts payable = $62,000

Accounts receivable = 100,000

Cash = 30,000

Inventory = 138,000

Land = 160,000

Expenses = 40,000

Total assets = Accounts receivable + Cash + Inventory + Land

                     = $428,000
