Question

At the beginning of the year, Brick Makers had cash of $183, accounts receivable of $392, accounts payable of $463, and inventory of $714. At year end, cash was $167, accounts payables was $447, inventory was $682, and accounts receivable was $409. What is the amount of the net source or use of cash by working capital accounts for the year?

Answer 1

Answer:

amount of the net source $15

Explanation:$Working\ capital= Current\ assets-Current\ liabilities$

$source\ of\ cash =[Cash+AR+Inventory]- [Amount\ Payable]$

cash = $183

received amount = $392

inventory =$714

payable amounts =$463

current assest = (183+392+714)-463=$826

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

cash = $167

received amount = $409

inventory =$682

payable amounts =$447

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

Hence since current liabilities is more than current assests, therefore there will be loss of accounts

Hence source of cash= (826-811) = $15.
