Answer (B) is correct . Working capital is the excess of total current assets (CA) over total current liabilities (CL). Thus, working capital at the end of January equals $80,500 computed as follows: Current Assets-Current Liabilities+ Beginning working capital $70,000 Performed services on account 30,000 ;Purchased supplies on account 0;Consumed supplies-4,000 ; Purchased office equipment -2,000;Paid short-term bank loan 0 ;Paid salaries -10,000; Accrued salaries -3,500; Working capital, end of January $80,500
Answer (A) is incorrect because The amount of $90,000 ignores the consumed supplies, the cash purchase of office equipment, and the accrued salaries. Answer (C) is incorrect because The amount of $50,500 does not include the services performed on account. Answer (D) is incorrect because The amount of $47,500 omits the services performed on account and accrued salaries but includes the repayment of short-term loan.
