1. Total Current Assets = Debtors + Stock + Cash + Short term investment Total Current Assets = (Rs 75000 + Rs 50,000 + Rs 1,00000 + Rs 76,000) Total Current Assets = Rs 3,01,000
2. Total Current Liabilities = Sundry Creditors + Dividend Payable + Tax + Short Term loan)
   Total Current Liabilities = (Rs 32,000 + Rs 50,000 + Rs 44,000 + Rs 61,000) = Rs 1,87,000
3. Gross Working Capital = Total Current Assets
   Gross Working Capital = Total Current Assets = Rs 3,01,000
4. Net Working Capital = Total Current
   Assets – Total Current Liabilities
   Net Working Assets = Rs 3,01,000 – Rs 1,87,000 = Rs 1,14,000
   (a) Gross Working Capital = Rs 3,01,000
