Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Net Operating Assets = Operating Assets – Operating Liabilities

Operating Assets = Merchandise Inventory + Other Current Assets + Property, Less Accumulated Depreciation + Deferred Income Taxes – Net + Other Assets
Operating Assets = $9,458 + $391 + $19,577 + $241 + $665
Operating Assets = $30,332

Operating Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Accrued Compensation and Employee benefit + Deferred Revenue + Other Current Liabilities + Deferred Revenue – Extended Protection Plans + Other Liabilities
Operating Liabilities = $5,633 + $820 + $1,078 + $1,857 + $729 + $846
Operating Liabilities = $10,963

Net Operating Assets for 2016 = $30,332 - $10,963
Net Operating Assets for 2016 = $19,369
