Answer #1

Total Liabilities this year = $69,309
Common Stock this year = $9,871
Retained Earnings this year = $86,004

Net profit next year = $36,500

Payment as dividends next year = $15,000

Retained earnings for next year = Retained Earnings this year + Net Profit next year - Dividends paid next year

= 86004 + 36500 - 15000

= $107,504

Total assets next year = Liabilities + Common stock + Retained earnings for next year

= 69309 + 9871 + 107504

= $186,684

Hence the correct answer is option B.
