Expert verified

Answer

Total Assets = $2,800,000, Total Liabilities and stockholders’ equity = $2,800,000

Step by step solution

01

Working Notes

Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

1.60= $1,216,000/ Current Liabilities

Current Liabilities= $1,216,000/1.6

=$760,000

Hence Current Liabilities =$760,000

Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

0.55=$1,540,000/Total Assets

Total Assets = $2,800,000

Therefore, Total Assets =$2,800,000
