Explanation:

We can find the correct answer by laying out the information appropriately:

Current Assets:

Accounts Receivable: $65,000

Cash: $20,000

Inventory: $72,000

Marketable securities: $36,000

Accounts payable: $30,000

Accrued liabilities: $7,000

Notes payable (short-term): $20,000

Working capital = $195,000 - $57,000

= $138,000
