Answer:

$1,300,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount included in the translated balance sheet is shown below:

= Account receivable at current rate + account receivable, long term at current rate  + inventories at current rate + goodwill at current rate

= $600,000 + $300000 + $180,000 + $220,000

= $1,300,000

We recorded at the current rate or lower value of current rate or historical rate but the goodwill is recorded at current rate
