    A. $598,000

    Explanation:

    Total assets = Net Capital Invested

    Net Capital invested = Equity + Long Term Debt + Net Income - Any dividends distributed = $500,000 + $75,000 + $25,000 - $2,000 = $598,000

    Note: The net increase in liabilities from $75,000 to $94,000 that is $19,000 is increase of current liabilities and not of capital invested.

    Therefore, that increase in liabilities will not be considered.

    Final Answer

    A. $598,000
