    Dear Sir,
    In the past exam question (6/11) for BRT company the working capital of 820 was given back in Year 4, however, in the question of CJ Co (12/10) in Yr4 the working capital figure was (13). Shouldn’t it have been 285 instead (285 is the figure we get when inflating the working capital)? I cannot understand the logic here.

    Can you please enlighten me?

    Thanks very much

    Two things!

    Firstly we usually assume that when we come to the end of a project we get back all of the working capital that we had invested (not the inflated amount – simply the total of all the outflows).

    Secondly however, in this question it specifically told you (in the final paragraph) to ignore any working capital recovery.
