Question

The assets of Dallas & Associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment, and the firm has no excess cash. The firm has total assets of $2.7 million and net plant and equipment equals $2.4 million. It has notes payable of $160,000, long-term debt of $755,000, and total common equity of $1.45 million. The firm does have accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet. The firm only finances with debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock on its balance sheet.

Write out your answers completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to the nearest dollar, if necessary.

Answer 1

a) Total Debt = Total Assets - Total Equity

= 2,700,000 - 1,450,000

= 1,250,000

b) Total liabilities and Equity will be equal to the value of total assets

= 2,700,000

c) Current Assets = Total assets - Net Plant and Equipment

= 2,700,000 - 2,400,000

= 300,000

d) Current liabilities = Total Liabilities (debt) - Long term Debt

= 1,250,000 - 755,000

= 495,000

e) Accounts payable and Accruals = Current liabilities - Notes payable

= 495,000 - 160,000

= 335,000

f) Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities

= 300,000 - 495,000

= -195,000

g) Net Operating working capital = Current Assets - Accounts payable and accruals

= 300,000 - 335,000

= -35,000

h) Difference = -195,000 - (-35,000)

= -195,000 + 35,000

= -160,000

i) This difference indicates the balance of Notes Payable
