    A) Total assets increase $350,000.

    Explanation:

    The total assets will increase by $350,00 since:

    buildings will increase by $370,000: (10,000 stocks x $35 per stock) + $20,000 paid in cash = $350,000 + $20,000 = $370,000 cash will decrease by $20,000

    Equity should also increase by $350,000 since 10,000 new stocks were issued and their fair market value was $35 per stock = 10,000 x $35 = $350,000
