Respuesta :

Answer:

$142,083

Explanation:

Current asset = Accounts receivable + Cash + Inventory + Marketable securities + Prepaid expenses = 70,256 + 16,928 + 73,062 + 36,421 + 2,512 = $199,179

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Accrued liabilities + Notes payable (short-term) = 29,317 + 6,298 + 21,481 = $57,096

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities = 199,179  - 57,096  = $142,083

Answer:

$142,083

= $142,083
