Let's use actual numbers. Starting in 1992, let's say company C had $100 in assets.   In 1993, the total assets were 400% GREATER, which means 1992 PLUS 400% of 1992:   $100 + 4x$100 = $100 + $400 =$500   In 1994, the total assets were 150% GREATER than they were in 1993, which means 1993 PLUS 300% of 1993:   $500 + 1.5x$500 100 +  400=

$500   In 1994, the total assets were 150% GREATER than they were in 1993, which means 1993 PLUS 300% of 1993:   $500 + 1.5x$500= $500 + $750 =$1250   This is 12.5 times the 1992 number, so the correct answer is 12.5N.   12.5N500 +  750=
