Expert Solution

!. None of the above

Net Working Capital, NWC = Current assets - Current Liabilities

Current Assets = Cash + Inventory + Accounts receivables

   = 600 + 80 + 400

   = 1080

Current Liabilities= Accounts Payable + Notes Payable + Current maturing LTD

= 700 + 200 + 40

= 940

NWC = 1080- 940

= 140

Working capital ratio , WCR = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

   = 1080 / 940

= 1.15

NWC and WCR shows the liquidity of a company , not solvency. So statement 1 and 3 are wrong. NWC is positive. So company has enough current assets to meet short term obligations. So the company has no liquidity concern . So statement 2 is also wrong.

Liquidity is ability to meet short term obligation. Solvency is ability to meet long term obligations

2.

Current Ratio is same as WCR

Current ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

   = 1080 / 940

   = 1.1489

3.

Net Liquid Balance, NLB = Current Financial Assets - Current Financial Liabilities

Current financial assets = Cash + Short term Investments ( no investment for this company)

= 600 + 0

= 600

Current financial liabilities = Notes Payable + Current maturing LTD

= 200 + 40

   = 240

NLB = 600 - 240

= 360

4. False

NWC is a measure of liquidity. It measures how much current assets ( short term assets) are available to meet Current liabilities ( short term liabilities). It si not a solvency measure. Solvency measures if the company will be able to meet its obligations over long term
