-term notes payable to the bank, and
$250 of accrued wages and taxes. What was its net operating working capital?
A.
$1,281
B.
$1,525
C.
$1,190
D.
$1,235
E.
$1,586
Answer Option B $1,525
Calculations:
Net operating working capital = Current assets - Operating current liabilities
= $2,750 - $1,225
= $1,525
*Operating current liabilities = Accounts payable + Accrued wages and taxes
= $975 + $250
= $1,225
*Notes payable is not a typical liability, it is not considered as an operating current liability, so this is not included in operating current liabilities for the calculation of Net operating working capital.
