#20,000.00

Explanation

Working capital is calculated as Current Assets - Current Liabilities.
From the given data, Current Assets = Debtors + Cash in hand + Closing stock = 10,000 + 5,000 + 10,000 = 25,000.
Current Liabilities = Creditors + Overdraft -8,000 +12,000 -20,000.
Therefore, Working Capital = 25,000 - 20,000 = 5,000.
