Question

Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery five years ago for $15 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $14.3 million. Klingon’s current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $12 million, current liabilities of $840,000, and net working capital of $223,000. If all the current assets and current liabilities were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.05 million cash. a. What is the book value of Klingon’s total assets today? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. What is the sum of the market value of NWC and the market value of fixed assets? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answer 1

Answer:

book value of assets 13,063,000

fair value of net working capital plus fixed assets: 15,350,000

Explanation:

book value of assets:

with the working capital we solve for ucrrent assets

working capital:

current assets - current liabilities

current assets - 840,000 = 223,000

current assets = 840,000 + 223,000 = 1,063,000

now, we add it with the book value of the fixed assets

1,063,000 + 12,000,000 = 13,063,000

fair value of net working capital and fixed assets:

1,050,000 + 14,300,000 = 15,350,000
