Wims, Inc., has current assets of $6,000, net fixed assets of $25,100, current liabilities of $4,950, and long-term debt of $12,000.

 
Note: Intermediate answers are shown below as rounded, but the full answer was used to complete the calculation.
 
To find owners' equity, we must construct a balance sheet as follows:
  
Balance Sheet
  CA$6,000     CL$4,950    
  NFA 25,100     LTD 12,000    
 

 OE ??    
     

  TA$31,100     TL & OE$31,100    
 



  




  
We know that total liabilities and owners' equity (TL & OE) must equal total assets of $31,100. We also know that TL & OE is equal to current liabilities plus long-term debt plus owners' equity, so owners' equity is:
 
Owners' equity = $31,100 – 12,000 – 4,950
Owners' equity = $14,150
 
And net working capital (NWC) is:
 
NWC = Current assets – Current liabilities
NWC = $6,000 – 4,950
NWC = $1,050



Thanks
