2- Working Capital is the excess of the current assets of a business over its current liabilities:

            Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Positive working capital implies that a business is able to pay its current liabilities and is solvent.

The Current Ratio is another means of expressing the relationship between current assets and current liabilities, computed by dividing Current Assets by Current Liabilities:      Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities (pages 93-94 on your text)

Historically, companies had considered a current ratio of 2.00:1 to be adequate. In recent years, companies have considered a current ratio in the range of “1.10:1 to 1.30:1” to be adequate by improving management of their current assets and liabilities. A current ratio that is less than 1.00:1 is considered to be dangerous as it indicates that the company may have difficulties paying its bills when they become due.

Current asset	$78,007	$76,203
Current liabilities	$71,466	$85,181
Working Capital	$6,541	($8,978) negative
Current ratio	$1.09	$0.89 low ratio

So in the year end on 31.12.2016 there is negative working capital and low level of current ratio indicates there may be more short term debt in the company and there is a problem to meet short term obligations by the company.

Answer 3:

on 31.0.2019 Unearned ticket revenue balance is = $315000/7 games = $45000 each game .

Totally 7 games - already played is (3+2=5) = balance 2 games un played = $45000 * 2 = $90000

is liability so entry is

if cash of $315000 is entered as full revenue then:

Ticket revenue Dr $90000

Unearned Ticket Revenue Cr $90000

At the time of realisation of game played then the entry will be reversed and revenue recognised.
