General ACCAWorking Capital?
9y ago#1There is no point in asking this in the general forum - you should ask in the forum for the relevant ACCA paper.
(Also, do not simply set test questions and expect an answer. You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question (if not then you should be using a different book) and so you should ask about whatever it is in the answer that is puzzling you).
