Question

You are evaluating the balance sheet for Goodman's Bees Corporation. From the balance sheet you find the following balances: cash and marketable securities = $400,000, accounts receivable = $1,200,000, inventory = $2,100,000, accrued wages and taxes = $500,000, accounts payable = $800,000, and notes payable = $600,000. Calculate Goodman Bees' net working capital.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $1,800,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Net working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

Where,

Current Assets = cash and marketable securities + accounts receivable + inventory

Current Assets = $400,000 + $1,200,000 + $2,100,000 = $3,700,000

And Current Liabilities = accrued wages and taxes + accounts payable + notes payable

Current Liabilities  = $500,000 + $800,000 + $600,000 = $1,900,000

So, Net Working Capital = $3,700,000 - $1,900,000

= $1,800,000
