Answer 1

Answer:

a). $12,850  b.) 550

Explanation:

a). Shareholder equity

The shareholder equity consists of the shareholder capital contributions plus the retained earnings. calculating the shareholder's equity is through the formula shareholder equity = total assets -total liabilities

In this case,

Total assets = $5,000,+ $23,300= $28,300

Total liabilities = $4,450 + $11,000 + $15,450

Shareholder equity = $28,300 -$15,450 = $12,850

b). Net working capital

Net working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. i.e., net working capital is current assets - current liabilities

current asset = $5000

Current liabilities = $ 4,450

Net working capital; = $5,000 - $4,450= $550
