Question

Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery five years ago for $5 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $4.5 million. Klingon’s current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $3.5 million, current liabilities of $750,000, and net working capital of $229,000. If all the current assets and current liabilities were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.11 million cash. a. What is the book value of Klingon’s total assets today? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. What is the sum of the market value of NWC and the market value of fixed assets? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answer 1

a.Current assets = Net working capital + Current liabilities

= $229,000 + $ 750,000

= $979,000

Total book value of assets = Net fixed assets + Current assets

= $ 3,500,000 + $979,000

= $ 4,479,000.

b.Market value of net working capital = market value of current assets - current liabilities

= $1,110,000 - $750,000

= $360,000

Sum of market values of net working capital and fixed assets = $360,000 + $3,500,000

= $3,860,000.
