in December 2013 f9 exam question 1 (a)how can i calculate working capital incremental ?
Thank in advance
Ask the Tutor ACCA FM
incremental working capital
The revenue in the first year is 1308.75.
So the working capital needed at the start of the first year - i.e. time 0 (now) is 10% x 1308.75 = 130.88
The revenue in the second year is 2817.26.
So the working capital needed at the start of the second year (which is in one years time - i.e. time 1) is 10% x 2817.26 = 281.73.
However we already have working capital of 130.88, so the extra needed at time 1 is 281.73 - 130.88 = 150.85
And so on.... :-)
