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 $2.5 million and net plant and equipment equals $2.1 million. It has notes payable of $160,000, long-term debt of $759,000, and total common equity of $1.45 million.

Answer 1

a). Total Debts = Total Assets - Total common equity

=$2.5 million - $1.45 million

= $1.05 million

b). Total Liabilities and equity = Total Assets

= $2.5 million

c). Current Assets = Total Assets - Net Plant & Equipment

=$2.5 million - $2.1 million

= $0.4 million

d). Current Liabilities = Total Assets - Total common equity - Long-term Debts

=$2.5 million - $1.45 million - $0.759 million

= $0.291 million

e). Accounts Payable and Accruals = Current Liabilities - Notes Payable

= $291,000 - $160,000

=$131,000

f). Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $400,000 - $291,000

= $109,000

g). Net Operating Working Capital = Current Assets - Accounts Payable and Accruals

= $400,000 - $131,000

= $ 269,000

h). Monetary difference between your answers to part f and g = $269,000 - $109,000

= $160,000

The monetary Difference indicates = Notes Payable = $160,000
