Brooks Cross · Answer 1

Net working capital = - $2400

Explanation:

given data

accounts payable = $3,000

increase inventory = $1,800

decrease accounts receivable = $1,200

to find out

cash flow related to the net working capital

solution

we get here first net working capital that is express as

Net working capital = Total current assets - Total current liabilities ... 1

here

Total current assets = Increase in inventory - Decrease in accounts receivables ... 2

Total current assets = $1800 - $1200

Total current assets = $600

and total current liabilities is = $3000 so from equation 1 we get here

Net working capital = $600 - $3000

so Net working capital = - $2400
