Solution :

a). Total debt = notes payable + long term debt

                      = 145,000 + 750,000

                     = $ 895,000

b). Total liabilities and equity = total assets

                                                = 2,900,000

c). Current assets = total assets - net plant and equipment

                             = 2,900,000 - 2,600,000

                              =$ 300,000

d). Total current liabilities = total liabilities and equity - total common equity - long term debt

                           = 2,900,000 - 1,550,000 - 750,000

                           = $ 600,000

e). Accounts payable and accruals = total current liabilities - notes payable  

                                                          = 600,000 - 145,000

                                                          = 455,000

f). Net working capital = current asset - current liabilities

                                    = 300,000 - 600,000

                                   = - $300,000

g). Net operating working capital = current assets - accounts payable and accruals

                                  = 300,000 - 455,000

                                 = - $ 155,000

h). The difference between f) and g). represents the balance of notes payable.
