e.G., 32.) change in net working capital

Answer 1

Net working capital = total current assets - total current liabilities

Net working capital for 2015 = 1,205 -965 = 240

Net working capital in 2015 = $240

Net working capital for 2016 = 1,420-1,095 = 325

Net working capital in 2016 = $325

Change in working capital for 2016 = Net working capital in 2016 - Net working capital in 2015

Change in working capital for 2016 = 325 -240 = 85

Change in working capital for 2016 = $85
