Answer:

$ 474000

Step-by-step explanation:

Market value added = V - K where V is the market value of the firm plus its equity and debts = (55000 × $ 11) + $ 107000 = $ 712000

K is the capital invested which in this case represent the total assets = $ 238000

Market value added = $ 712000 - $ 238000 = $ 474000
