Answer #1

Blauser's

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

Current assets = Cash + Inventory + Accounts receivable ...etc

Current liabilities = Accounts payable ...etc

Opening working capital = (280+924+414) - 361

Opening working capital = $ 1,257

Closing working capital = (311+1,003+426) - 398

Closing working capital = $ 1,342

Net Change in working capital during the year = Closing working capital - Opening working capital

Net change in working capital = 1,342 - 1,257 = $ 85

Hence, Option "C" is correct.
