b. $1,489,500
c. $1,503,000
d. $1,540,500

I don't know how to do them at all. That is why I asked someone to explain it to me. I don't want someone to do it for me. I want to know how to do it. My book doesn't explain it.

The answer is only right in front of you if you understand accounting! I have no idea how to solve either of these problems.

Are you taking accounting as a course? Because this does look like home work. Not trying to be out of line. If your not taking accounting then where are you getting these questions? Are you helping some one else? Please let me know. I could be wrong and you are just studying on your own to get into the swing of things before taking accounting courses. Please get back to me. Thanks

What is your problem? Yes, they were homework questions, that is why I posted them in the homework help section. Accounting is my last course in my MBA and my book sucks. I don't need your help anymore, I found someone willing to explain it to me. Thanks anyway.
