<h3>What is working capital?</h3>- Working capital is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
- It is critical to estimate and compute working capital in order to allocate cash available for working capital.
- If working capital is negative, it signifies that current liabilities exceed current assets, which is a negative indicator of liquidity.
(1-a) Computation of current liabilites = $107,600.
(Go through the table given below)
(1-b) Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
- Current assets = Total assets - Non-current assets = $590,00 - $350,000 = $240,000
- Current liabilities = $107,600
So, Working capital = $240,000 - $107,600 = $132,400
(2) The computation would not alter since contingent liabilities are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, they are disclosed in the notes to financial statements.
As a result, the $300,000 in contingent liabilities has no effect on any of the preceding calculations.
Therefore, all the answers are shown.
