Sir, if the question says ‘the working capital will need to be increase annually at the start of each next 3 years by inflation rate (assume inflation rate-year 1: 22%, year 2 :14.7% and year 3 onwards 9.8%) and will released at the end of the project life.’
Kindly explain how to calculate the increment in working capital . Thank You.
This needs to increase in the first year by 22%, so 22% x 9600 = 2112. So the total working capital is now 9600 + 2112 = 11712. This needs to increase in the second year by 14.7%, so 14.7% x 11712 = 1722 Same idea again in the third year, and then as usual all of the working capital is recovered in the 4th year.
