George Vaughn · Answer 1

D) $15,000.

Explanation:

190,000 excess of value Building amortized over 10 years: 19,000

70,000 lesser value on Equipment amortized over 5 years: 14,000

We will amortize the building at a rate of 19,000 dollar per year

and we will amortize the equipment at 14,000 per year

the inventory as still is in the company's possesion will also need to be adjsuted

10,000 + 19,000 - 14,000 = 15,000
