Arredondo, Inc., has current assets of $2,360, net fixed assets of $11,200, current liabilities of $1,445, and long-term debt of $4,170.

Requirement 1:
What is the value of the shareholders’ equity account for this firm? (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)
 
  Shareholder's equity  $   

Requirement 2:
How much is net working capital? (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)
 
  Net working capital  $   
 

Explanation:
 The balance sheet for the company will look like this:
 
Balance sheet
  Current assets $ 2,360     Current liabilities $ 1,445  
  Net fixed assets 11,200     Long-term debt 4,170  
  Owner's equity 7,945  




  Total assets $ 13,560     Total liabilities & Equity $ 13,560  










The owner's equity is a plug variable. We know that total assets must equal total liabilities & owner's equity. Total liabilities and equity is the sum of all debt and equity, so if we subtract debt from total liabilities and owner's equity, the remainder must be the equity balance, so:
 
 Owner’s equity = Total liabilities & equity – Current liabilities – Long-term debt
 Owner’s equity = $13,560 – 1,445 – 4,170
 Owner’s equity = $7,945
 
 Net working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, so:
 
 NWC = Current assets – Current liabilities
 NWC = $2,360 – 1,445
 NWC = $915
