A)  No                                           No

B)  Yes                                          No

C)  No                                           Yes

Correct answer is A)

Calculate Firebird’s current assets and working capital.

          Current assets                             Working capital

 

A)                                                      $1,665 million        $420 million

B)                                                     $1,665 million        $490 million

C)                                                     $1,735 million        $490 million

Correct answer is B)

Current assets are equal to $1,665 ($275 cash and equivalents + $1,150 accounts receivable + $240 inventory). Working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) is equal to $490 ($1,665 current assets – $225 accounts payable – $830 accrued expenses – $120 current portion of long-term debt).

-$15,000

The change in cash was $82,000 ($157,000 collections – $10,000 from equipment purchase – $50,000 salaries paid – $15,000 for payables).

Working capital at the end of 20X7 is $416,000 ($350,000 beginning working capital + $150,000 increase in accounts receivable from services – $10,000 office equipment purchase – $54,000 salaries expense accrual – $20,000 consumed supplies).

§   Purchasing $25,000 of paint supplies on credit has no net effect on working capital (current assets and current liabilities increase). Consuming $20,000 of these supplies reduces working capital (current assets decrease).

§   Salary expense reduces working capital by $54,000 when recognized (current liabilities increase). Paying $50,000 of these salaries has no net effect on working capital (current assets and current liabilities decrease).

§   Collecting accounts receivable has no net effect on working capital (one current asset increases and another decreases).

§   Recognizing depreciation does not affect working capital.

§   Paying accounts payable has no net effect on working capital (current assets and current liabilities decrease).
