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 |
