Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery four years ago for $4 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $3.6 million. Klingon’s current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $2 million, current liabilities of $700,000, and net working capital of $216,000. If all the current assets and current liabilities were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.03 million cash.
b. What is the sum of the market value of NWC and the market value of fixed assets? |

a.Formula for calculating the net working capital:
Net Working Capital= Current Assets- Current Liabilities
$216,000= Current Assets- $700,000
Current Assets= $216,000 + $700,000
= $916,000
Book value of total assets= Current Assets + Net fixed assets
= $916,000 + $2,000,000
= $2,916,000
b.Market value of net working capital= $1,030,000
Market value of fixed assets= $3,600,000
Therefore, the sum of net working capital and fixed assets:
= $1,030,000 + $3,600,000
= $4,630,000.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
