a) Computation of the stockholder's equity:-

Total assets = Net fixed assets + Current assets

= $249,300 + $50,200

= $299,500

Total assets = Stockholder's equity + Long term debt + Current liabilities

$299,500 = Stockholder's equity + $99,100 + $30,700

Stockholder's equity = $299,500 - $99,100 - $30,700

= $169,700

 

b) Computation of the net working capital:-

Net working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

= $50,200 - 30,700

= $19,500

 

c) Computation of the net working capital:-

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Short term debt

= $19,400 + $11,300

= $30,700

Net working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

= $50,200 - 30,700

= $19,500

Net working capital would remain same as calculated in part b) $19,500 because current liabilities consist of accounts payable of $19,400 and short term debt of $11,300 and both are classified under current liabilities. So, no change in net working capital.
