Working Capital
5y ago#1I assume that you know the definition of working capital, and so did you try making up some figures yourself to see what happens??
On there own, increasing current assets by 120,000 will increase working capital by that amount.
On their own, decreasing current liabilities by 50,000 will also increase working capital by that amount..
