Accounts receivable 64,500
Merchandise inventory 113,000
Total current assets $ 197,500
Land $ 51,000
Buildings & equipment 346,500

In addition to the liabilities included in the balance sheet, $2,135 is owed to employees for their work since the last pay period, and interest of $5,390 has accrued on notes payable and long-term debt.
