(Enter your answer as directed, but do not round intermediate calculations.) Requirement 1: What is the value of the shareholders’ equity account for this firm? Shareholder's equity $ Requirement 2: How much is net working capital? Net working capital $ Explanation: The balance sheet for the company will look like this: Balance sheet Current assets $ 2,270 Current liabilities $ 1,400 Net fixed assets 10,300 Long-term debt 4,080 Owner's equity 7,090 Total assets $ 12,570 Total liabilities and owners' equity $ 12,570 The owners’ equity is a plug variable. We know that total assets must equal total liabilities and owners’ equity. Total liabilities and owners’ equity is the sum of all debt and equity, so if we subtract debt from total liabilities and owners’ equity, the remainder must be the equity balance, so: Owners' equity = Total liabilities and owners' equity – Current liabilities – Long-term debt Owners' equity = $12,570 – 1,400 – 4,080 Owner's equity = $7,090 Net working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, so: NWC = Current assets – Current liabilities NWC = $2,270 – 1,400 NWC = $870

Requirement 1:
What is the value of the shareholders’ equity account for this firm?

  Shareholder's equity  $   

Requirement 2:
How much is net working capital?

  Net working capital  $   


Explanation:
 The balance sheet for the company will look like this:

Balance sheet
  Current assets $ 2,270     Current liabilities $ 1,400  
  Net fixed assets   10,300     Long-term debt   4,080  
        Owner's equity   7,090  
 

 

  Total assets $ 12,570     Total liabilities and owners' equity $ 12,570  
 



 





The owners’ equity is a plug variable. We know that total assets must equal total liabilities and owners’ equity. Total liabilities and owners’ equity is the sum of all debt and equity, so if we subtract debt from total liabilities and owners’ equity, the remainder must be the equity balance, so:

 Owners' equity = Total liabilities and owners' equity – Current liabilities – Long-term debt
 Owners' equity = $12,570 – 1,400 – 4,080
 Owner's equity = $7,090

 Net working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, so:

 NWC = Current assets – Current liabilities
 NWC = $2,270 – 1,400
 NWC = $870
