Answer
The total company's loss is $845,000$ dollars.
Work Step by Step
The term "loss" suggests a subtraction of money while the term "profit" suggests the addition of money (gaining money).
Annual report:
$-615,000$ dollars in $2011$, $-275,000$ dollars in $2012$, $-70,000$ dollars in $2013$ and $+115,000$ dollars in $2014$
Add up all of the loses and profits:
$= (-615,000) + (-275,000) + (-70,000) + (115,000)$
$= -615,000 - 275,000 - 70,000 + 115,000$
$= -890,000 - 70,000 + 115,000$
$= -960,000 + 115,000$
$= -845,000$ dollars
Therefore, the total company's loss is $845,000$ dollars.
