You have recently been hired by First National Bank as the assistant loan officer. Part of your work involves assessing which companies should be allowed to borrow money from the bank. The bank wants to lend money to all companies that will likely have the resources available at the time the loan obligation becomes due. During the current week, three companies have approached you about obtaining a two$-$year loan. For each of these companies, you ask to see their balance sheets over the previous six years. Your analyses of the companies$$ assets and liabilities are provided in the graphs below. Examine those graphs and answer the following questions:

The three graph plot dollars on the vertical axis ranging from $0$ to $120,000$ and periods on the horizontal axis ranging from year $1$ to $6.$Company A: assets rise from $50,000$ at year $1$ to $100,000$ at year $6.$ liabilities rise from $50,000$ at year $1$ to $75,000$ at year $6.$ Company B: assets fall from $100,000$ at year $1$ to $50,000$ at year $6.$ liabilities remain constant at $75,000.$Company C: assets rise from $50,000$ at year $1$ to $100,000$ at year $6.$ liabilities fall from $75,000$ at year $1$ to $70,000$ at year $6.$
