Solution

Firm disposed off liabilities of Rs 1,00,000 which results in decrease in current liabilities and current assets by the same amount.
After disposing liabilities:
Current Assets = Rs 4,00,000 (Rs 5,00,000 – Rs 1,00,000)
And, Let Current Liabilities be (x – Rs 1,00,000)

4,00,000 = 2x – 2,00,000
6,00,000 = 2x
Therefore, x = 3,00,000

Current Liabilities after payment = x – Rs 1,00,000 = Rs 2,00,000

Working Capital after Payment = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
= Rs 4,00,000 – Rs 2,00,000 = Rs 2,00,000

Current Assets before payment = Rs 5,00,000
Current Liabilities before Payment = Rs 3,00,000
Therefore, Working Capital Before Payment = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
= Rs 5,00,000 – Rs 3,00,000 = Rs 2,00,000
