Statement showing cash flow cahnges due to NWC
Particulars | 0 | 1 | 2 |
Units sold | 8000 | 9000 | |
Price per unit | 180 | 180 | |
Total sales | 1440000 | 1620000 | |
NWC (Note 1) | 50000 | 216000 | 243000 |
Change in NWC | 166000 | 27000 | |
Increase in NWC = Decrease in cash | -166000 | -27000 |
NWC at end of year 1 = 1440,000 x 15% = 216000 $
NWC at end of year 2 = 1620000 x 15% = 243000 $
Now incremental NWC for year 2 = 243000 - 216000 = 27000$
Increase in NWC = Decrease in cash , hence cash outflow = $27000
