Question

2019 balance sheet showed net fixed assets of $5.2 million, and the 2020 balance sheet showed net fixed assets of $5.8 million. The company’s 2020 income statement showed a depreciation expense of $335,000. What was the company's net capital spending for 2020?

Answer 1

Answer: $935,000

Explanation:

Net capital spending refers to the amount spent on acquiring new fixed assets.

= 2020 net fixed assets + 2020 depreciation - 2019 net fixed assets

= 5,800,000 + 335,000 - 5,200,000

= $935,000
