Question

Six Twelve, Inc., is considering opening up a new convenience store in downtown New York City. The expected annual revenue at the new store is $700,000. To estimate the increase in working capital, analysts estimate the ratio of cash and cash-equivalents to revenue to be 0.03 and the ratios of receivables, inventories, and payables to revenue to be 0.05, 0.10, and 0.04, respectively, in the same industry.

Required :
What is the expected incremental cash flow related to working capital when the store is opened? (Enter negative amount using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45)

Answer 1

The expected incremental cash flow related to working capital when the store is opened is $98,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Incremental cash required = $700,000*(0.03 + 0.05 + 0.10 - 0.04)

= $700,000*0.14

= $98,000

Therefore, The expected incremental cash flow related to working capital when the store is opened is $98,000.
