The svensons find a refrigerator valued at $2,300 on sale for $1,900. they decided to withdraw $500 from savings to use as a down payment on the purchase of the refrigerator and took out a loan to pay the balance. choose the true statement.
a. the svensons assets increased by $1,400.
b. the svensons assets increased by $1,800.
c. the svensons assets increased by $1,900.
d. the svensons assets increased by $2,300.

Cost of refrigerator on sale is $1900 while the Actual cost of the refrigerator is $2300.

Amount withdrawn from savings is $500.

Increase in the assets will be the Actual Value of refrigerator - The Amount Withdrawn from the savings

We used the Actual value of refrigerator because if svensons sell the refrigerator, it will be sold at the actual valued price. Even though they found the refrigerator at sale, the value that will be added to assets will be its actual value.
