Answer:

$182,083

Explanation:

The computation of the total assets by considering the total assets turnover is shown below:

Total assets turnover = Sales ÷ total assets

2.4 = $415,000  ÷ total assets

So, the total assets equal to

= $415,000 ÷ 2.4

= $172,917

So, the assets is reduced by

= Year-end total assets - calculated assets

= $355,000 - $172,917

= $182,083
