Calculate total current assets and total current liabilities that would appear in the company’s year-end balance sheet.
Current assets : Current assets are assets that can be converted to cash within a year or consumed within a year.
Current liabilities: Current liabilities are those liabilities that represent the company's debt. These are expected to be satisfied within a year by using current assets or by incurring new current liabilities.
Calculation of Current assets
Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivables + Inventories
=$16,000 + $11,000 + $25,000
=$52,000
Calculation of Current liabilities
Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Wages payable + Interest payable
=$14,000 + $9,000 + $1,000
=$24,000
Because an equipment is a long-term asset, it is not considered a current liability because the due date is more than 12 months. The shareholder's equity is represented by common stock.
Therefore,Current asset and current liability of the firm is $52,000 and $24,000 respectively.
