The correct answer is option "b", "<span>The Johnsons increased their liquid assets".
</span><span>The inquiry is giving us the accompanying situation: "so as to reduce their debt, the Johnson's sold some land property esteemed at $165,000 for $143,000. They paid off an advance adjust of $100,000 and put the rest in investment funds." We can see that they really lost cash - they got for the house not as much as the house is worth - they diminished their net esteem. Be that as it may, they have more money that they can utilize (the investment funds) - this is called liquid assets, so the right answer is b, The Johnsons expanded their liquid assets. </span>
