Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery three years ago for $7.6 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $4.45 million. Klingon's current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $3.25 million, current liabilities of $1.6 million, and net working capital of $520,000. If all the current assets and current liabilties were liquidated today, the company would receive $2.05 million cash. |
a. | What is the book value of Klingon's total assets today? |
b. | What is the sum of the market value of NWC and market value of fixed assets? |
a. The book value is computed as shown below:
= Fixed Assets + Current Assets
Current Assets value is computed as shown below:
Current Assets = Net working capital + Current Liabilities
= $ 520,000 + $ 1,600,000
= $ 2,120,000
So, the book value of the assets will be as follows:
= Fixed Assets + Current Assets
= $ 3,250,000 + $ 2,120,000
= $ 5,370,000
b. The market value is computed as shown below:
= Sales value of machinery + cash received if current assets and current liabilities liquidated
= $ 4,450,000 + $ 2,050,000
= $ 6,500,000
