Management believes that you can reasonably expect to collect 93 percent of the receivables, that the inventory could be sold to realize 84 percent of its book value, and that the sale of the property, plant, and equipment would yield $94,000.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liquidation value is the sum of the cash, the net realizable value of the receivables, the net realizable value of the inventory, and the net realizable value of the fixed assets. The net realizable value of the receivables is 93% of $35,000, or $32,550. The net realizable value of the inventory is 84% of $28,000, or $23,520. The net realizable value of the fixed assets is $94,000. Therefore, the liquidation value is $12,000 + $32,550 + $23,520 + $94,000 = $162,070.
