Kroeger,
Inc., has current assets of $2,270, net fixed assets of $10,300,
current liabilities of $1,400, and long-term debt of $4,080. (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?
|
Requirement 2: |
How much is 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 |
