What is the amount of the change in net working capital using the above financial statements ?
Answer:
Net Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
Calculation of Current Assets
Current Assets for 2010 = Cash + Inventory +Accounts Receivable = 4,600 + 18,900 + 10,200
Current Assets for 2010 = 33,700
Current Assets for 2011 = Cash + Inventory +Accounts Receivable = 3,800 + 20,300 + 9,700
Current Assets for 2011 = 33,800
Calculation of Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities for 2010 = Accounts Payable = 16,200
Current Liabilities for 2011 = Accounts Payable = 17,100
Calculation of Net Working Capital
Net Working Capital for 2010 = Current Assets for 2010 - Current Liabilities for 2010 = 33,700 - 16,200 = 17,500
Net Working Capital for 2011 = Current Assets for 2011 - Current Liabilities for 2011 = 33,800 - 17,100 = 16,700
Calculation of Change in Net Working Capital
Change in Net Working Capital = Net Working Capital for 2011 - Net Working Capital for 2010
= 16,700 - 17,500 = -800
Change in net working capital in amount is -800
