What is the value of the Working Capital of the business in Naira as at 31st December 2025?

Cevap: 55000

Cevap

The Working Capital of the business as at 31st December 2025 is ₦55,000.
Working Capital is determined by subtracting Total Current Liabilities from Total Current Assets. Total Current Assets = ₦45,000 (Inventory) + (₦50,000 - ₦3,000) (Net Debtors) + ₦8,000 (Bank) + ₦6,000 (Prepaid Rent) = ₦106,000. Total Current Liabilities = ₦32,000 (Creditors) + ₦15,000 (Bank Overdraft) + ₦4,000 (Accrued Electricity) = ₦51,000. Working Capital = ₦106,000 - ₦51,000 = ₦55,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate Total Current Assets
₦106,000
Current assets consist of short-term resources expected to be realized within one accounting period: Closing Inventory (₦45,000), Net Trade Debtors (₦50,000 less ₦3,000 provision = ₦47,000), Cash at Bank (₦8,000), and Prepaid Rent (₦6,000).
2
Calculate Total Current Liabilities
₦51,000
Current liabilities are short-term obligations due within one year: Trade Creditors (₦32,000), Bank Overdraft (₦15,000), and Accrued Electricity Bill (₦4,000). The 5-year bank loan is excluded as it is a long-term liability.
3
Deduct Total Current Liabilities from Total Current Assets
₦55,000
Working Capital equals Net Current Assets (Current Assets minus Current Liabilities): ₦106,000 - ₦51,000 = ₦55,000.
