Solution:
Net working capital for Coca-Cola:
Year 2004: $2,244+ $1,420 + $1,849 - $4,403 - $4,531 - $1,490 - $709 = -$5,620.
Year 2005:$2,288 + $1,424 + $1,778 - $4,493 - $4,518 - $28 - $797 = -$4,353.
?
Thus, Coca-Cola increased the amount it had tied up in its working capital accounts by $1,267. It is deducted from the net income in year 2005 of $4,872 to derive a number that is closer to Coca-Cola’s cash flow for the year: $4,872 - $1,267 = $3,605
