Answer: the correct answer is D) Contract asset: $0, contract liability: $380,000, accounts receivable, $0.

Explanation: Contract asset is $0 because the asset belongs to the company that has the equipment which is Packard Associates. Gupta has a liability of $380,000 because it has to deliver the equipment. Accounts receivable are $0 because the equipment hasn't been delivered yet.
