Problem

Kimber Co. is in the process of liquidating and going out of business. The firm's accountant has provided the following balance sheet and additional information:

  Assets

   

  Cash

16,500

 

  Accounts receivable

64,000

 

  Merchandise inventory

110,000

 

      Total current assets

 

190,500

  Land

47,000

 

  Buildings & equipment

347,500

 

  Less: Accumulated depreciation

190,500

 

      Total land, buildings, & equipment

 

204,000

      Total assets

 

394,500

  Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity

   

  Accounts payable

45,100

 

  Notes payable

56,000

 

      Total current liabilities

 

101,100

  Long-term debt

 

50,500

  Total liabilities

 

151,600

  Stockholders' Equity

   

  Common stock, no par

110,000

 

  Retained earnings

132,900

 

      Total stockholders' equity

 

242,900

  Total liabilities and stockholders' equity

 

394,500

It is estimated that all but 8 percent of the accounts receivable can be collected, and that the merchandise inventory can be disposed of in a liquidation sale for 90 percent of its cost. Buildings and equipment can be sold at $40,000 above book value (the difference between original cost and accumulated depreciation shown on the balance sheet), and the land can be sold at its current appraisal value of $61,000. In addition to the liabilities included in the balance sheet, $2,380 is owed to employees for their work since the last pay period, and interest of $5,235 has accrued on notes payable and long-term debt.

A) Calculate the amount of cash that will be available to the stockholders if the accounts receivable are collected, the other assets are sold as described, and all liabilities and other claims are paid in full.

This is what I have so far, which is all correct. I just need to find the total cash available (including sale of assets).

Total cash available (including sale of assets)

 

 

Notes payable

56,000

 

Long-term debt

(50,500)

 

Wages payable

2,380

 

Interest payable

5,235

 

Accounts payable

45,100

 
   

58,215

Total cash available to stockholders

 

$(58,215)
