Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Change in Net Working Capital = Change in Current Assets - Change in Current Liabilties

Change in Current Assets = (405 - 310 + 3055 - 2640 + 3850 - 3275) = 1085

Change in Current Liabilties = (2570 - 2720 + 0 - 100) = -250

Change in Net Working Capital = 1085 - (-250) = $1335

Option C ($1335) is the correct answer.

Thanks.
