    Total assets $695,100
    Total noncurrent assets 525,000
    Liabilities:
    Notes payable(8% due in 5 years) 78,000
    Accounts payable 60,000
    Income taxes payable 12,000
    Liability for withholding tax 3,000
    Rent revenue collected in advance 14,000
    Bonds Payable (due in 15 years) 100,000
    Wages payable 7,800
    Property taxes payable 2,000
    Note payable (10%, due in 6 months) 10,000
    Interest payable 400
    Common stock 100,000

    1.Compute (a) working capital and (b) the current ratio. Why is working capital important to management? How do financial analysts use the current ratio?

    2. Would your computations be different if the company reported $250,000 worth of contingent liabilities in the notes to the financial statements? Explain.

    Net Working Capital= Current Assets-NIBCLs, which are Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Therefore, NWC= $170,100-$99,200=$70,900
