the question states -working capital will be increased annually at the start of years 2 to 4 by the inflation
Then y do we calculate the increase in working for year 1 and deduct it
Q no 13 in BBp
The working capital at time 0 is 1,025 (which is the start of the first year).
At the start of the second year (i.e. time 1) they need to increase it by 4%. So they need an extra 4% x 1,025 = 41 at time 1. They then have 1,025 + 41 = 1,066 working capital.
At the start of the third year (i.e. time 2) they need to increase it by 5%. So they need an extra 5% x 1,066 = 53,. They now have 1,066 + 53 = 1,119 working capital.
and so on 🙂
thank you
is it only for working capital or is it the same to other cfs also
when they say from first year
Only working capital because of the nature of working capital (as was the case in paper FM also).
