Answer 1

Answer:

210,421 Long-Term Liabilities

Explanation:

We are going to use the accounting equation to solve for long term liabilities

$Assets = Equity + Liabilities\\Liablities = short\: term + long\: term$

Total Assets

cash 23,015

Account Receivables 141,258

Inventory 213,000

other current assets 11,223

PPE 714,100

goodwill and other assets 78,656

Total Assets 1,181,252

common stock  311,300

retained earnings 512,159

Total equity 823,459

We use he accounting equation to get total liabilities:

1,181,252 - 823,459 = 357,793 Total Liabilities

Now we calcualte the short-term debt

126,257 Account Payable

21,115 short-term Note Payable

Total Current Liabilities  147,372

And with this, the diference between short-term adn total liabilities is the long-term liabilities

357,793 - 147,372 = 210,421 Long-Term Liabilities
