Question

4. You are considering adding a microbrewery onto one of your firm's existing restaurants. This will entail an increase in inventory of $8700, an increase in accounts payables of $2300, and an increase in property, plant, and equipment of $48,000. All other accounts will remain unchanged. The change in net working capital resulting from the addition of the microbrewery is ________.

Answer 1

$6400

Step-by-step explanation:

Working capital is the net of current asset and current liabilities. it is a financial measure that gives insight into how liquid a company is considering that it shows whether or not the current assets can be used to settle the current obligations or liabilities of the company adequately.

The change in property, plant, and equipment of $48,000 is not an element of working capital, Hence change in working capital

= $8700 - $2300

= $6400
