Answer 1

a.Total Debt = Total Assets – Total Equity

= 2,800,000 – 1,550,000

= $1,250,000

b.Total liabilities and Equity is equal to total assets

= $2,800,000

c.Current Assets = Total Assets – Plant and Equipment

= 2,800,000-2,500,000

= 300,000

d.Current Liabilities = Total Liabilities – Long term debt

= 1,250,000 – 746,000

= $504,000

e.Accounts payables and accruals = current liabilities – notes payables

= 504,000 – 155,000

= $349,000

f.Working capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

= 300,000-504,000

= -204,000

Net operating working capital = current assets – Accounts payables and accruals

= 300,000 – 349,000

= -49,000

h.Difference = -204,000+49,000

= -155,000

Difference indicates note payable balance
