Because the table is the direct object--it's accusative. http://german.about.com/library/blcase_acc.htm that explains why accusative case is so important.
Do you have a table is a tricky one :) "Hast du einen Tisch?" (2nd person singular) "Habt ihr einen Tisch?" (2nd person plural) "Haben Sie einen Tisch?" (politeness form) would be correct depending on the context.
But since the previous exercise used the 2nd person singular "Hast du einen Tisch?" is the right one.
