Explanation:

In order to calculate the total value of these assets reported on TAP's balance sheet as of January 1, 2018 we would have to make the following calculation with the following formula:

Total Value of Assets  = Land at cost + Trade Mark at Fair Value + Goodwill after impairment loss

Note: Under the US Gaap the land is presented at Cost

Therefore, Total Value of Assets  = $250 million + $80 million + ( $880 million-$140 million)

Total Value of Assets = $250 million+$80 million+$740  million

Total Value of Assets = $ 1,070 million

The total value of these assets reported on TAP's balance sheet as of January 1, 2018 is $ 1,070 million
