Respuesta :

Answer: $900,000

Explanation:

Net fixed assets(2014) = $3 million

Net fixed assets(2015) = $3.7 million

Depreciation expense = $200,000

Net capital spending for 2015 = closing balance of 2015 - opening balance of assets + depreciation for the year

                                                  = $3,700,000 - $3,000,000 + $200,000

                                                  = $900,000

Therefore, the net capital spending for the year 2015 is $900,000.
