The amount of working capital is $113,000

Explanation:

Working capital is calculated by using following formula:

Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities

In Privett Company,

Current assets = Accounts receivable + Cash + Inventory + Marketable securities + Prepaid expenses = $35,000 + $25,000+ $72,000 + $36,000 + $2,000 = $170,000

Current Liabilities = Accounts payable + Accrued liabilities + Notes payable (short-term) = $30,000 + $7,000 + $20,000 = $57,000

Working capital = $170,000 - $57,000 = $113,000
