Transcribed Image Text:**M9-6 (Algo) Computing Working Capital LO9-5**
The balance sheet for Stevenson Corporation reported the following:
- Noncurrent assets: $190,000
- Total assets: $450,000
- Noncurrent liabilities: $250,000
- Total stockholders' equity: $91,000
Compute Stevenson’s working capital.
**Working Capital Calculation:**
A field titled "Working capital" is provided to input the computed working capital value, but the box is currently empty.
To compute the working capital, you need to use the formula:
\( \text{Working Capital} = \text{Total Current Assets} - \text{Total Current Liabilities} \)
However, the provided information does not explicitly mention the current assets or current liabilities. But we can infer :
1. **Total Current Assets** can be calculated as:
\( \text{Total Current Assets} = \text{Total Assets} - \text{Noncurrent Assets} \)
\( 450,000 - 190,000 = 260,000 \)
2. **Total Current Liabilities** can be found using:
\( \text{Total Liabilities} - \text{Noncurrent Liabilities} \)
\( \text{Total Liabilities} = \text{Total Current Assets} + \text{Total Noncurrent Liabilities} = 260,000 + 250,000 = 510,000 \)
\( \text{Total Current Liabilities} = 510,000 - 250,000 = 260,000 \)
So,
\( \text{Working Capital} = 260,000 - 160,000 \).
The provided diagram includes a table with a cell labeled "Working capital" which is empty, intended for the result of this computation.
