Klingon
Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery three years ago for
$4.7 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $6.9
million. Klingon’s current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $3.5
million, current liabilities of $780,000, and net working capital of
$137,000. If all the current assets were liquidated today, the company
would receive $895,000 cash. (Enter your answer as directed, but do not round intermediate calculations.)
Requirement 1: |
What is the book value of Klingon’s total assets today? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567.)

Explanation:
To
find the book value of assets, we first need to find the book value of
current assets. We are given the NWC. NWC is the difference between
current assets and current liabilities, so we can use this relationship
to find the book value of current assets. Doing so, we find:
|
NWC = Current assets – Current liabilities
|
Current assets = $137,000 + 780,000 = $917,000
|
Now we can construct the book value of assets. Doing so, we get: |
Book value of assets |
Current assets | $ | 917,000 |
Fixed assets | | 3,500,000 |
|
|
|
Total assets | $ |
4,417,000
|
|
|
|
|
All of the information necessary to calculate the market value of assets is given, so: |
Market value of assets |
Current assets | $ | 895,000 |
Fixed assets | | 6,900,000 |
|
|
|
Total assets | $ |
7,795,000
