Answer:

Explanation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Given;

Total asset = $288,000

Equity = Retained earnings + common stock

= 40,000 + 100,000

= $140,000

Liabilities =  $288,000 - $140,000

= $148,000

Liabilities include; Notes Payable 88,000, Salaries Payable ? Accounts Payable ?

Since the Salaries Payable and Accounts Payable are not known, the right option is D. Cannot be determined given the information provided.
