Answer: Company's net capital spending for 2016 = $702,000

Explanation:

Given that,

On December 31, 2015:

Net fixed assets = $1,780,000

On December 31, 2016:

Net fixed assets = $2,150,000

Depreciation expense = $332,000

Therefore,

Company's net capital spending for 2016:

= Ending net assets + Depreciation expense - Beginning net assets

= $2,150,000 + $332,000 - $1,780,000

= $702,000
