Llaavu11y ago
A company has credit sales of $45 million per year, and cost of sales of $30 million per year. They have calculated working capital measures as follows : Trade receivable days 40 days Inventory days 30 days Trade payable days 36 days There are 360 days in a year. What is the net investment in working capital?

shwezin18: That is not what the question (or laavanyaa) is asking! Laavanyaa: Average receivables = 40/360 x 45M = 5M Average inventory = 30/360 x 30M = 2.5M Average payables = 36/360 x 30M = 3M So net investment in WC = 5M + 2.5M - 3M = $4.5M
