a. Stockholders equity is computed as shown below:

= Net fixed assets + Current assets - Current liabilities - long term debt

= $ 249,300 + $ 50,100 - $ 28,900 - $ 101,300

= $ 169,200

b. The net working capital is computed as follows:

= Current assets - Current liabilities

= $ 50,100 - $ 28,900

= $ 21,200

c. The correct answer will be option D i.e. The firm's net working capital will change by $ 7,300 i.e. net working capital = $ 28,500
