The working capital figure, which is also known as working capital, is defined as a company's current assets minus its current liabilities.
Examples of Changes in Working Capital
If a company's owners invest additional cash in the company, the cash will increase the company's current assets with no increase in current liabilities. Therefore working capital will increase.
If a company obtains a long-term loan to replace a current liability, current liabilities will decrease but current assets do not change. Therefore working capital will increase.
We can see Working Capital figure changing Balance Sheet configuration.
