2. Explain the concept of working capital. What are the factors which influence the working capital?
A). There are two concepts of working capital commonly found in the existing literature of finance such as :
1. Gross working capital
2. Net working capital
The above concepts each has its relevance in specific situations from the management point of view and its

Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediatecalculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Cash flow from operations is a key indicator of a company’s financial health, because without the ability
See Table 1: Expected non-operating cash flow when the project is terminated at year 4 = 165,880$
• Cost of capital must reflect current capital market conditions (current required returns) • Cost of capital must also reflect the optimal relative proportions of debt and equity the firm will
The IRR is the discount rate that makes the present value of the cash inflows equal to the present value of the cash outflows. This is the same as saying that the IRR is the discount rate that makes the net present value equal to zero.
In the above question, what is the present value of the cash flows if the first payment will be made in four years?
3) What is the weighted average cost of capital and why is it important to estimate it? Is the

Net Working Capital Requirements JohnBoy Industries has a cash balance of $45,000, accounts payable of $125,000, inventory of $175,000, accounts receivable of $210,000, notes payable of $120,000, and accrued wages and taxes of $37,000. How much net working capital does the firm need to fund? (LG2)
7. [CPA Adapted] The assumption that cash flows are reinvested at the rate earned by the
2. The reinvestment rate assumption is the assumption that for the NPV calculation you can reinvest the cash inflows at the WACC and for the IRR calculation you can reinvest the cash flows at the IRR itself. With this assumption you would think that the NPV would be more preferred because the WACC is easier to determine.
Working capital is a measure of both a company’s efficiency and its short –term financial health. The working capital ratio indicates whether a company has enough short term assets to cover its short term debt. The adequacy of company‘s working capital depends on the industry in which it competes, its relationship and supplier and more.
