    Q:- the level of working capital investment at the start of the each year is expected to b 10% of the sale revenue in that year. If the sale revenue for the 1-4 Years respectively is £( 1308, 2817, 7907, 5443 ), what will be the working capital value for the each year in the investment appraisal computation?

    at the start of the first year (i.e. time 0) they need working capital of 10% x 1308 = 130.8.

    At the start of the second year (i.e. time 1) they need working capital of 10% x 2817 = 281.7. However they already have 130.8, so they need an extra 281.7 – 130.8 = 150.9 at time 1.
    At the start of the third year (i.e. time 2) they need 10% x 7907 = 790.7. But they already have 281.7 so they just need the extra.

    You should be able to finish it off from there 🙂

    at the start of the fourth year ie time 3 they need 10% of 5443=544.3 but they have already invested 790.7 in total so they take OUT the extra 246.4 (264) which is a cash inflow and lastly in time 4 they will take all of the 544 invested
    hope that helps 🙂

    Sorry, but we don’t support Paper FFM on this website, so I don’t know which book you are referring to.
