Answer:

The answer is: $47,700

Explanation:

To determine net working capital we use the following formula:

Net working capital = total current assets - total current liabilities

  • Current assets: assets that can be converted to cash within a on year period (e.g. cash, account receivables, inventory, etc.)
  • Current liabilities: debts that should be paid within a one year period (e.g. accounts payable, wages, taxes, etc.)

Net working capital = $119,800 (current assets = total assets - net fixed assets) - $72,100 (current liabilities)

Net working capital = $47,700
