When Projects Require Working-Capital Investments
What is Working Capital?
Working Capital Equations
Accounting definition:
The amount carried in cash, accounts
receivable, and inventory that is available
to meet day-to-day operating needs.
WC = Current Asset – Current Liabilities
∆WC = ∆CA - ∆CL
where ∆WC = changes in working capital
How to treat working capital investments:
∆CA = changes in current assets
just like a capital expenditure except that
∆CL = changes in current liabilities
no depreciation is allowed.
If ∆WC > 0, working capital requirement. With the net change being
positive, the firm has a net requirement of working capital that has
to be financed during the year. Therefore, the WC requirement
appears as uses of cash in the cash flow statement.
If ∆WC < 0, working capital release. If this amount were negative,
there would have been a cash inflow from working capital release,
which could add to the sources of cash.

When Projects Are Financed with Borrowed Funds
• Key issue: Interest payment is a tax-deductible
• What about principal payments?
• As the amount of borrowing is NOT viewed as
expense.
• What needs to be done
• Once a loan repayment schedule is known,
separate the interest payments from the
income to the borrower, the repayments of
principal are NOT viewed as expenses either—
NO tax effect.

Effects of debt financing on
profitability
o
o
MARR = 15%, debt interest rate = 10%
NPW without debt financing (100% equity)
PW(15%) = $31,420
o
NPW with debt financing (50% debt)
PW(15%) = $44,439
o
The debt financing increases the present worth by
$13,019. This result is largely caused by the firm’s
being able to borrow the funds at a cheaper rate
(10%) than its MARR of 15%.
