In evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project, Armistead Corp. determined that the following changes would be required in its working capital accounts to support the project.
Cash will increase by $3,000; accounts receivable will increase by $26,000; accounts payable will increase by $15,000; inventory will increase by $24,000; and wages payable will increase by $19,000.
Given this information, what will be the incremental net working capital for the project?
Incremental Net Working Capital =Change in Current Assets - Change in Current Liabilities
where, Change in Current Assets = Change in Cash + Change in Acounts Receivables + Change in Inventory
= $3,000 + $26,000 + $24,000
= $53,000
Change in Current Liabilities = Change in Accounts payable + Change in wages Payable
= $15,000 + $19,000
= $34,000
Incremental Net Working Capital for the Project = $53,000 - $34,000
= $19,000
So, the incremental net working capital for the project is $19,000
