Answer 1

Answer: A. $4,600,000; $3,900,000

Explanation:

Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the book value will be calculated as:

= Net working capital + Current liabilities + Net fixed assets

= $725,000 + $1,375,000 + $2,500,000

= $4,600,000

Market value will be:

= $1,900,000 + $2,000,000

= $3,900,000

Therefore, the answer is option A.
