Answer:

Note

This is an incomplete question and the missing part is stated below.

Jason's corporation co trial balance include the following account balances at December 31,2018.

Account receivable : 13,800

Inventory : 40,000

Patent : 13,000

Investment :30,500

Prepaid insurance : 7,900

Note receivable , due 2021 :50,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Current assets are assets that are reasonably expected to sold or consumed through normal business operation within an operating cycle(within a year)

Looking at the balances given in the question , the current asset balances are

Account receivable (payment are expected within a year ) - 13,800

Inventory (expected to be utilized during regular operation) -40,000

Investment ( turnover expected within a year )- 30,500

The portion of prepaid insurance meant for immediate next year - 7900/2 ,3950

Total current asset = 13,800+40,000+30,500+3950 =88,250
