Answer 1

Answer a.

Total Debt = Notes Payable + Long-term Debt
Total Debt = $140,000 + $749,000
Total Debt = $889,000

Answer b.

Total Liabilities and Equity = Total Assets
Total Liabilities and Equity = $2,700,000

Answer c.

Current Assets = Total Assets - Net Plant and Equipment
Current Assets = $2,700,000 - $2,300,000
Current Assets = $400,000

Answer d.

Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Total Common Equity
Total Liabilities = $2,700,000 - $1,450,000
Total Liabilities = $1,250,000

Current Liabilities = Total Liabilities - Long-term Debt
Current Liabilities = $1,250,000 - $749,000
Current Liabilities = $501,000

Answer e.

Accounts Payable and Accruals = Current Liabilities - Notes Payable
Accounts Payable and Accruals = $501,000 - $140,000
Accounts Payable and Accruals = $361,000

Answer f.

Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
Net Working Capital = $400,000 - $361,000
Net Working Capital = $39,000

Answer g.

Net Operating Working Capital = Net Working Capital + Notes Payable
Net Operating Working Capital = $39,000 + $140,000
Net Operating Working Capital = $179,000

Answer h.

Monetary Difference = Net Operating Working Capital - Net Working Capital
Monetary Difference = $179,000 - $39,000
Monetary Difference = $140,000

The difference indicates notes payable balance.
