What is the firm's net operating working capital
The assets consist entirely of Current assets and net plant and equipment.
So, Assets= Current assets+Net plant and equipment
Assets= $5 million
Net plant and equipment= $3.5 million
So, Current assets= $5 million- $3.5 million
= $1.5 million
The firm only finances with debt and common equity, so
Total liabilities & Shareholders equity= Current Liabilities+Long term debt+ Common equity
We know that,
Total liabilities & Shareholders equity= Total Assets
So,
Total Assets= Current Liabilities+Long term debt+ Common equity
Long term debt= $2 million
Common equity= $1.75 million
So,
$5 million= Current Liabilities+$2 million+$1.75 million
Current Liabilities= $5 million-$2 million-$1.75 million
= $1.25 million
Notes payable is considered as a short term debt and therefore will be excluded
So, Net operating working capital= Current assets- Current Liabilities excluding Notes payable
= $1.5 million- ($1.25 million-$0.5 million)
= $0.75 million or $750,000
