Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: $1,219,000

Explanation:

Net capital spending (NCS): is the amount of money a company invests in acquiring new fixed assets.

We use the following formula:

Net Capital Spending = ending fixed assets – beginning fixed assets + depreciation

NCS = $3,300,000 - $2,400,000 + $319,000 = $1,219,000
