The December 31, 2010, balance sheet showed current assets of $2,644 and current liabilities of $1,048. What was the company’s 2010 change in net working capital, or NWC?

Answer 1

Answer: ($203)

Step-by-step explanation:

The company’s 2010 change in net working capital will be calculated thus:

Net working capital = current assets - current liabilities

For 2009, net working capital will be:

= $2,584 - $1,191

= $1393.

For 2010, net working capital will be:

= $2,644 - $1,048

= $1596

Change in net working capital will be:

= $1393 - $1596

= ($203)
