### Quick Assets Calculation

This exercise is designed to help you understand the concept of quick assets and how to calculate them using financial data. Quick assets are a category of assets that can be quickly converted into cash without significantly diminishing their value. They are used to measure a company’s liquidity.

Below is a list of various financial data points related to a hypothetical company's balance sheet. Your task is to identify which of these are quick assets and then sum their values to find the total amount of quick assets.

#### Financial Data:
- **Accounts payable**: $30,000
- **Accounts receivable**: $45,000
- **Accrued liabilities**: $7,000
- **Cash**: $20,000
- **Intangible assets**: $40,000
- **Inventory**: $72,000
- **Long-term investments**: $100,000
- **Long-term liabilities**: $75,000
- **Notes payable (short-term)**: $20,000
- **Property, plant, and equipment**: $625,000
- **Prepaid expenses**: $2,000
- **Temporary investments**: $36,000

#### Possible Answers:
- a. $173,000
- b. $175,000
- c. $101,000
- d. $65,000

### Explanation of Quick Assets
Quick assets typically include:
- Cash
- Accounts receivable
- Marketable securities (Temporary investments)

**Note**: Inventory and prepaid expenses are not part of quick assets because they cannot be quickly converted into cash.

### Calculation:
To find the amount of quick assets, add up the values of:
- Cash
- Accounts receivable
- Temporary investments

Therefore:
- **Cash**: $20,000
- **Accounts receivable**: $45,000
- **Temporary investments**: $36,000

### Total Quick Assets:
\[ 20,000 (Cash) + 45,000 (Accounts Receivable) + 36,000 (Temporary Investments) = 101,000 \]

Thus, the correct answer is:
- **c. $101,000**

Apply these principles and calculations to determine the amount of quick assets for any given set of financial data on your own.
