Question

. Intellus has long-term debt of $5 million, owners' equity of $7.5 million, current assets of $1 million, gross fixed assets of $20 million, and accumulated depreciation of $7 million. What is the firm’s net working capital

Answer 1

- $0.5 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net working capital is shown below:

We know that

Net working capital = Current assets - current liabilities

where,

Current assets = $1 million

The net fixed assets = Gross fixed assets - Accumulated depreciation

= $20 million - $7 million

= $13 million

Total assets = Current assets + net fixed assets

= $1 million + $13 million

= $14 million

And,

Total assets = Total liabilities + owners equity

$14 million = Total liabilities + $7.5 million

So, the total liabilities is

= $14 million - $7.5 million

= $6.5 million

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + long term debt

$6.5 million = Current liabilities + $5 million

So, Current liabilities is $1.5 million

Now the net working capital equal to

= $1 million - $1.5 million

= - $0.5 million
