A. Find the change in working capital in 2018.
B. What is the cash flow associated with the change in working capital
(a)-Change in working capital in 2018.
The working capital is calculated by using the following formula
Working Capital = Total Current Assets – Total Current Liabilities
Working Capital for 2017 = Total Current Assets – Total Current Liabilities
= [Accounts Receivables + Inventory] – Accounts Payable
= [$11,64,000 + $210,000] - $10,87,000
= $13,74,000 - $10,87,000
= $287,000
Working Capital for 2018 = Total Current Assets – Total Current Liabilities
= [Accounts Receivables + Inventory] – Accounts Payable
= [$11,88,000 + $183,000] - $11,55,000
= $13,71,000 - $11,55,000
= $216,000
Therefore, the Change in working capital in 2018 would be -$71,000 (Negative)
[$216,000 - $287,000]
(b)-The cash flow associated with the change in working capital
The cash flow associated with the change in working capital would be -$71,000
