Working Capital calculation on the investment appraisal
11y ago#1at 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 :-)
Many thanks for your back sir,
But more specifically the problem I'm facing is on year 3 and year 4 , as on the answer its given as follow
Year. 1. 2. 3. 4
Wc. (150.09) (509) 246 544
I know how the figure is work out but didn't get how they put this on yr 3 nd yr 4,
NB- on the wc amount I just put the round figure
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 :)
