Answer 1

Option (c) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Beginning net fixed assets = $234,100

Ending net fixed assets = $243,600

Assets were sold during the year = $42,500

Depreciation = $62,500

Net capital spending:

= Ending net fixed assets - Beginning net fixed assets + Depreciation

= $243,600 - $234,100 + $62,500

= $72,000

Therefore, the amount of net capital spending is $72,000.
