What is the Net Working Capital on a Common Sized Balance Sheet for 2005?

Solution

The Net Working Capital (NWC) is calculated as:

  • Current Assets = $293
  • Current Liabilities = $232

Thus, for 2005:

Net Working Capital=293232=61\text{Net Working Capital} = 293 - 232 = 61

So, the Net Working Capital for 2005 is $61.
