Dear Teacher,
I had a promblem that I hope you could please help me clear:
1. in your note, Working capital = current asset – current liability.
in real life, my firm do business in many items, such as: coffee, steel, agri-product, real-estate,..v.vv.; So, when I make financial analysis to make a coffee business plan for purpose of bank short-term loans.. I have some information relatings to coffee business: Revenue, cost of sale, relatived expensive, and profit. I need to find out the firm’s capital needs and capital turnover, so I did as following:
– determine working capital demands for coffee business = current asset – current liability (detailed information on SOFP)
– determine capital turnover = 365 days / cash operating cycle
capital turnover = 365 days / ( coffee inventory days + coffee receivable days – coffee payable days )
I didn’t know whether my above calculation is correct . If I were wrong, Could you please help me clear
I appreaciate your help and hope to receive your reply soon
Thanks and best regards

What you are doing seems OK, but it would be more common to prepare forecast accounting statements (including a statement of cash flows).
