    1) Book Value = $16,464,000

    2) Market Value = $19,080,000

    Explanation:

    The first question is to determine the book value of Klingon's assets today. Book value is the carrying value of the business in its balance sheet.

    Book Value = Net working Capital + Current Liabilities + Net Fixed Assets

    Net working Capital = $226,000

    Current Liabilities = $700,000

    Net Fixed Assets = $15,500,000

    Book Value = $226,000 + $700,000+$15,500,000 = $16,464,000

    2) Calculate the market value

    The formula for market value = How much the machinery was sold to Romulans today + today's value of the current assets if they are liquidated

    The market value of assets is a function of the current market price they can be sold for and received on the day of the valuation

    Market Value = $18,000,000 + $1,080,000 = $19,080,000
