Creditors101,000Current liability

(a) Total fixed assets = Fixtures + Machinery + Motor vehicles

= 335,000 + 348,000 + 232,000 = Le915,000

(b) Total current assets = Stock + Debtors + Cash

= 120,000 + 111,000 + 82,000 = Le313,000

(c) Total current liabilities = Overdraft + Creditors

= 27,000 + 101,000 = Le128,000

(d) Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

= 313,000 - 128,000 = Le185,000

(e) Capital employed = Fixed assets + Working capital

= 915,000 + 185,000 = Le1,100,000

(Check: Total assets - Current liabilities = 1,228,000 - 128,000 = Le1,100,000.)
