Step 1 of 5

a.?Working capital = (current assets - current liabilities) = CA - CL = $300,000

Current ratio = (current assets / current liabilities) = CA / CL = 2.0

Solution approach:

1) In the current ratio equation, multiply both sides by CL, giving:

             CA = 2CL

2) In the working capital equation, substitute 2CL for CA, giving:

                          2CL - CL = $300,000

                          Current liabilities = $300,000

3) Current assets can be determined as: CA = 2CL = (2 * $300,000) = $600,000
