B. $80,000
C. $90,000
D. $100,000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $80,000

Explanation:

Total Asset = $200,000

Total Liabilities = $120,000

Shareholders are entitle to receive the assets net of liabilities as follows:

Total Net Asset = Total Assets - Total liabilities

Total Net Asset = $200,000 - $120,000

Total Net Asset = $80,000

$80,000 of Fairchild's assets are the shareholders entitled to receive.
