a.Formula for calculating the net working capital:

Net Working Capital= Current Assets- Current Liabilities

$216,000= Current Assets- $700,000

Current Assets= $216,000 + $700,000

                             = $916,000

Book value of total assets= Current Assets + Net fixed assets

                                                 = $916,000 + $2,000,000

                                                 = $2,916,000

b.Market value of net working capital= $1,030,000

Market value of fixed assets= $3,600,000

Therefore, the sum of net working capital and fixed assets:

                  = $1,030,000 + $3,600,000

                  = $4,630,000.
