Solution

(a) Total Assets = $ 2.5 million, The firm\'s total assets are entirely composed of current assets and net plant and equipment.

Net Plant and Equipment = $ 2 million and Current Assets = Total Assets - Net Plant and Equipment = 2.5 - 2 = $ 0.5 million

Notes Payable = $ 150000 and Long-Term Debt = $ 750000

Total Common Equity = $ 1.5 million

Owner\'s Equity + Liabilities = Notes Payable + Long-Term Debt + Accruals + Accounts Payable + Total Common Equity = Total Assets = $ 2.5 million

0.15 + 0.75 + Accounts Payable + Accruals + 1.5 = 2.5

Accounts Payable + Accruals = $ 0.1 million

Total Debt includes long-term capital financing debt and short-term interest bearing debt only. Accounts Payable and Accruals do not form a part of a firm\'s total debt.

Hence, total debt = Notes Payable + Long-Term Debt = 150000 + 750000 = $ 900000

(b) Total Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Accruals + Long-Term Debt + Notes Payable = 0.1 + 0.75 + 0.15 = $ 1 million

Owner\'s Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = 2.5 - 1 = $ 1.5 million

(c) Current Assets = Total Assets - Net Plant and Equipment = 2.5 - 2 = $ 0.5 million

(d) Current Laibility = Accruals + Accounts Payable = $ 0.1 million

NOTE: The current portion of notes payable(amount due within one year or accounting period) is treated as current liability and the remaining portion is treated as non-current liability. As the notes payable portion does not mention the amount due within a year, the entire value of notes payable is treated as non-current laibility.
