There's really nothing to calculate, it's just a lookup. I found the smallest amount among the 3 items in the liabilities.

I did, however, have a technical issue with this question. If you enter the item name with the capitalization shown, it does not get scored as correct. But it was accepted when entered in all lower case.

Thanks Steven, I tried again with a previous answer, all lower case, and it worked lol,

Cheers!
