Silver Enterprises

Post Manager Balance sheet

Current assets

$11,480

Other assets

$3,120

Goodwill

$6,790

Net fixed assets

$21,890

Current liabilities

$6,940

Longterm debt

Equity

$18,650

Current assets = $9,200 + $2,280 = $11,480

Other assets = $2,300 + $820 = $3,120

Current liabilities = $4,960 + $1,980 = $6,940

Net fixed assets = $16,500 + $5,390 = $21,890

Long term debt = $4,390 + $12,740 = $17,130

Equity = $18,650
