Question

Coleman Luggage has liabilities of $870,000 that the company must pay back by the end of the month. It currently has a cash balance of $175,000 and inventories totaling $220,000. Other short-term assets equal $85,000. This information helps in understanding that Coleman Luggage has solvency.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is low

Explanation:

Liquidity or Solvency is the ability of a business to pay its debt(both in short term and long term).

In the question, Coleman Luggage has a liability of 879,000 and the total current assets(which can be used to offset the liability) are cash balance of $175,000 + inventories of $220,000 + Other short-term assets of $85,000 = $480,000.

To know its solvency (net working capital) = Asset - liability

$480,000-870,000

= -$390,000.

Coleman Luggage has a low solvency because his asset cannot cover all his liabilities. His asset is less than his liabilities
