Answer:

b. 240,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total amount of working capital

First step is to calculate the Current assets

Using this formula

Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid insurance

Let plug in the formula

Current assets= $70,000 + 100,000 + 140,000 + 80,000

Current assets= $390000

Second step is to calculate the Current liabilities using this formula

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries and wages payable

Let plug in the formula

Current liabilities= $130,000 + 20,000

Current liabilities= $75,000

Now let calculate the working capital using this formula

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Working capital = $390,000 - 150,000

Working capital = $240,000

Therefore the Working capital is $240,000
