The answer is: D) $152,000

Explanation:

To calculate the total amount of assets to be reported we must:

Increase Cash by $80,000 - by issuing common stock

Increase Cash by $40,000 - bank credit

Increase Inventory by $12,000 - purchased inventory

Increase Equipment by $32,000 - purchased equipment

Decrease Cash by ($12,000) - Cash paid for equipment

Total assets to be reported $152,000
