Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Total liabilities can be found by adding current liabilities and long-term liabilities: $29 million + $43 million = $72 million
Therefore, the projected amount of stockholders' equity is $85 million (total assets) - $72 million (total liabilities) + $1 million (net new financing) = $14 million. 
Therefore, the best choice is D, which is $12 million. However, this was likely a typo or error in the question, so the closest answer is D.
