= $1,050 + $700 + $46,230 + $2,850 + $6,000

= $56, 830

Dunn's Current Liabilities: Interest payable + Accounts Payable

= $3,750 + $9,700 = $13,340

Working Capital is how adequately the company can meet its current obligations through it current benefits or assets

= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

= $56, 830 / $13, 450 = 4.23
