Working notes:

Year 2019:

(1) Calculate the amount of current assets:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Current}\text{Assets}\text{=}\text{Current}\text{liabilities}\text{+Working}\text{capital}\\ \text{=}\text{\$17,300}+\text{\$17,900}\\ \text{=\$35,200}\end{array}$

(2) Calculate the amount of property, plant and equipment:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Property,}\text{plant}\text{and}\text{equipment}\text{=}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Total}\text{assets}-\text{Current}\text{assets}-\text{Long-term}\text{investments}-\\ \text{Intangible}\text{assets}\text{+Accumulated depreciation}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{=}\text{\$209,900}-\text{\$35,200}-\text{\$40,100}-\text{\$19,100}\text{+}\text{\$37,500}\\ \text{=\$153,300}\end{array}$

(3) Calculate the amount of current liabilities:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Current}\text{liability (x)}\text{=}\text{Total liabiltiy}-\text{Long-term}\text{liability}\text{(2x)}\\ \text{x}\text{=}\text{\$51,900}-\text{2x}\\ \text{\$51,900}\text{=}-\text{2x}-\text{x}\\ \text{\$51,900}\text{= -3x}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Current}\text{liability}\text{(x)}\text{=}\frac{-\text{\$51,900}}{-\text{3}}\\ =\frac{\text{\$51,900}}{\text{3}}\\ \text{=}\text{\$17,300}\end{array}$

(4) Calculate the amount of long-term liabilities:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Long-term}\text{liabilities}\text{=}\text{Current}\text{liabilities}\text{×}\text{2x}\\ \text{=}\text{\$17,300}\text{(3)}\text{×}\text{2x}\\ \text{x=}\text{\$34,600}\end{array}$

(5) Calculate the amount of common stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Coomon}\text{stock=}\text{Number}\text{of}\text{shares}\text{outstanding}\text{×}\text{Par}\text{value}\text{of}\text{stock}\\ \text{=}\text{2,900}\text{shares}\text{×}\text{\$10}\\ \text{=\$29,000}\end{array}$

(6) Calculate the amount of additional paid-in capital:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Additonalpaid-in}\text{capital}\text{=}\text{Total}\text{contributed}\text{capital}-\text{Commons}\text{stock}\\ \text{=}\text{\$66,700}-\text{\$29,000}\text{(5)}\\ \text{=\$37,700}\end{array}$

(7) Calculate the amount of total shareholders’ equity:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Total}\text{shareholders'}\text{equity}\text{=}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Common}\text{stock}\text{+}\text{Additional}\text{paid-in}\text{capital}\text{+}\\ \text{Retained}\text{earnings}\text{+}\text{Accumulated}\text{other}\\ \text{comprehensive}\text{income}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{=\$29,000}\text{+}\text{\$37,700}\text{(6)}\text{+\$83,300}\text{+}\text{\$8,000}\\ \text{=\$158,000}\end{array}$

Year 2020:

(8) Calculate the amount of long-term investments:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Long-term}\text{investments}\text{=}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Total}\text{assets}-\text{Current}\text{assets}-\text{property,plant}\\ \text{and}\text{equipments}-\text{Intangible}\text{assets+Accumulated depreciation}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{=\$232,100}-\text{\$39,800}-\text{\$180,000}-\text{\$18,600}+\$48,600\\ \text{=\$42,300}\end{array}$
