                                     Book Value                          Market Value

Current Assets              $14 m                                        $14.95 m

Fixed Assets                  $18 m                                        $27 m

Total                               $32 m                                        $41.95 m

Explanation:

For book Value:

Net fixed assets=$18.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$6.50 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$6.50 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$6.50+$7.50

Current Assets=$14 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$18 m+$14 m

Total Assets=$32 m

For Market Value:

Net fixed assets=$27.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$7.45 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$7.45 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$7.45+$7.50

Current Assets=$14.95 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$27 m+$14.95 m

Total Assets=$41.95 m
