Answer 1

a). Total debt = notes payable + long term debt

= 145,000 + 750,000

= $ 895,000

b). Total liabilities and equity = total assets

= 2,900,000

c). Current assets = total assets - net plant and equipment

= 2,900,000 - 2,600,000

=$ 300,000

d). Total current liabilities = total liabilities and equity - total common equity - long term debt

= 2,900,000 - 1,550,000 - 750,000

= $ 600,000

e). Accounts payable and accruals = total current liabilities - notes payable

= 600,000 - 145,000

= 455,000

f). Net working capital = current asset - current liabilities

= 300,000 - 600,000

= - $300,000

g). Net operating working capital = current assets - accounts payable and accruals

= 300,000 - 455,000

= - $ 155,000

h). The difference between f) and g). represents the balance of notes payable.
