It also had accounts receivable of $141,258 and other current assets of $11,223. How much long-term debt does Crane Automotive have

Answer 1

Answer: $170,421

Explanation:

Using the Accounting equation;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Assets = Cash + Inventory + Goodwill and other assets + Net plant and equipment + Accounts receivable + Other current assets

= 23,015 + 212,300 + 78,656 + 713,500 + 141,258 + 11,223

= $1,179,952

Equity

= Common stock + Retained earnings

= 313,000 + 512,159

= $‭825,159‬

Liabilities = Assets - Equity

Current Liabilities + Long term debt = Assets - Equity

Long term debt = Assets - Equity - Current Liabilities

= 1,179,952 - ‭825,159‬ - (163,257 + 21,115)

= $170,421
