Accounts receivable 680,000 Inventory 940,000 Non-current assets, net 1,420,000 Current liabilities 375,000 Total liabilities 1,060,000 Total equity 2,985,000

Answer 1

Answer:

$780,000

Explanation:

In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

                    =  $1,060,000 + $2,985,000

                    = $4,045,000

And, the total assets would equal to

Total assets = Cash + Marketable securities +Accounts receivable + Inventory + Non-current assets, net

$4,045,000 = $3,265,000 + Marketable securities

So, the marketable securities would be

= $4,045,000 - $3,265,000

= $780,000
