(Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

Answer 1

Answer: Company's net capital spending for 2016 = $702,000

Explanation:

Given that,

On December 31, 2015:

Net fixed assets = $1,780,000

On December 31, 2016:

Net fixed assets = $2,150,000

Depreciation expense = $332,000

Therefore,

Company's net capital spending for 2016:

= Ending net assets + Depreciation expense - Beginning net assets

= $2,150,000 + $332,000 - $1,780,000

= $702,000
