    B.

    $5,050,000

    C.

    ($950,000)

    D.

    $5,000,000

    How to approach this question

    Statement of Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities. Do NOT subtract the Actuarial Present Value of Accumulated Plan Benefits (that goes in a separate schedule or note).

    Full Answer

    B.$5,050,000✓ Correct
    B
    Net Assets = Investments ($5M) + Receivables ($0.2M) - Benefits Payable ($0.15M) = $5.05M. The actuarial obligation is not a liability on this specific statement.
