Working capital could be calculated as written but can only be influenced and changed with long term BS categories.

    🖋️ Some useful formulas to see where a company stands. The balance sheet provides the owners (shareholders) with a snap shot of the current health of the company and how well it's equipped to face the challenges ahead. However the only downside is it doesn't take into account the potential risks that are outside the company's control e.g. Corona, natural disaster, rate hikes and generally economic risks. Hence during the Corona crises many companies went into liquidation. #balancesheet #accounting
