To solve the given problem, we need to calculate two financial metrics for Burrow, Incorporated: shareholders' equity and net working capital.
The formula to calculate shareholders' equity is:
\[ \text{Shareholders' Equity} = \text{Total Assets} - \text{Total Liabilities} \]
First, we calculate the total assets:
- Current Assets = \$5,200
- Net Fixed Assets = \$27,300
\[ \text{Total Assets} = \text{Current Assets} + \text{Net Fixed Assets} = \$5,200 + \$27,300 = \$32,500 \]
Next, we calculate the total liabilities:
- Current Liabilities = \$4,100
- Long-term Debt = \$10,900
\[ \text{Total Liabilities} = \text{Current Liabilities} + \text{Long-term Debt} = \$4,100 + \$10,900 = \$15,000 \]
Now, we can find the shareholders' equity:
\[ \text{Shareholders' Equity} = \$32,500 - \$15,000 = \$17,500 \]
Net working capital is calculated as:
\[ \text{Net Working Capital} = \text{Current Assets} - \text{Current Liabilities} \]
Using the given values:
\[ \text{Net Working Capital} = \$5,200 - \$4,100 = \$1,100 \]
- a. Shareholders' equity is \$17,500.
- b. Net working capital is \$1,100.
