Thanks Jacob!

[@Binfinance]

Great video! Why did you choose to define Net Working Capital as "Current Assets (Excl Cash) - Current Liabilities" rather than "Current Assets (Excl Cash) - Current Liabilities (Excl Debt)"?

[@zackd7597]

Maybe I’m confused, but why do you have a need for cash for accounts receivable?

[@brucemcgrath1922]

Brilliant video. The explanation you provided is much greater than the university education I'm paying $1,000's/year for.

[@mikekimpel4329]

Thank you for the kind words Bruce!

[@bobsalgado2453]

You should create a book explaining finance/businesses formulas!

[@FinanceableTraining]

Really appreciate the suggestion. That would actually be a lot of fun!

[@thamarakumari-d5d]

Sir, Do banks have working capital? How does the concept of Working Capital apply to a bank? Is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) the same as Current Ratio/Working Capital Ratio? It is difficult to calculate the working capital of a bank because a bank's balance sheet does not include typical current assets and liabilities.

[@amirhossein9965]

I did not understand how assets and liabilities got doubled when you doubled the revenue, can you explain that? thanks for answering .

[@FinanceableTraining]

Hi there, we are simply assuming that NWC grows/declines in proportion to Revenue. This is a bit of a simplification to make the concept more clear, but broadly speaking as a Business grows, the various components of working capital will likely grow roughly in proportion to the Revenue of the Business. Clearly though, you will find many exceptions to this in a real life Business.

[@Lionsgala]

When you say net assets say for instance I started a print on demand business and there's a certain amount of quantity that are available for sale per product does that count

[@shivasaiselvarengaraju1411]

Great Video. Why do you need money to cover your A/R? That is money that is owed to us

[@FinanceableTraining]

Hey Shivasai, sorry for the delayed response here. It's not that you are using money to 'cover' A/R. But rather, that when you make a sale and the customer doesn't pay, then the Cash from that sale is 'locked up' / 'used' until the Customer pays.

[@parlindunganpasaribu8562]

Sorry if my english is not good, but i want to ask a question, do the equation of non cash current asset minus current liabilities include on that both interest bearing and not interest bearing current liabilities?

[@FinanceableTraining]

Hi there, we generally exclude any 'interest bearing' items when calculating Working Capital.

[@Abaaaddy]

I thought having more assets than liabilities is a good thing no?

[@FinanceableTraining]

You’re not entirely wrong here. However, in order to acquire assets, you have to put out money in most cases. And so if you can manage the liabilities appropriately, they can actually pre-fund the purchase of some assets. Check out our negative net working capital video for more on this
