How to Calculate Working Capital
1. Begin by determining current assets. Current assets are
comprised of cash, marketable securities, accounts
receivable and current inventory. Sum the total value of
each of the above to arrive at the current assets
2. Determine current liabilities. Current liabilities
include accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable
and the portion of long-term debt that is classified as
current. Sum all of these accounts to arrive at the current
liabilities figure.
3. Take the total of the current assets and subtract them
from the current assets. The result will be the working
capital. In other words, current assets minus current
liabilities equals working capital.
4. Look at the following example: The company has $100,000
in cash, $50,000 in securities, $10,000 in account
receivable, and $30,000 in inventory. On the current
liabilities side, the company has $60,000 in accounts
payable, $10,000 in accrued expenses, and $20,000 in current
debt. The current assets are $100, 000 + $50,000 + $10,000 +
$30,000 or $190,000.The current liabilities are $60,000 +
$10,000 + $20,000 or $90,000.Take the current assets of
$190,000 and subtract the current liabilities of $90,000 to
arrive at the working capital of $100,000.$190,000 - $90,000
= $100,000.

Does anybody know anything about BirlaSoft? I got a job offer, they sent me a contract to sign and return, but thank God they didn't ask for any money! But, they said they would send me a check in the mail. And as my first "task" I would have to use that check to order a bunch of accounting software, and I would need to purchase this software ONLY from the vendors that THEY provide. Is this a scam to just get money? I'm wondering if they "own" the vendor they "work" with and launder money that way. I asked the person who was getting my information, as far as my name and address to send the check to, Why would I have to buy software to install in my home computer anyway? Couldn't they just send me a link for the software to download? I'm afraid of the check being fake. Because, if I deposit the check into my checking account and it turns out to be fake, then I'll owe the bank all that money! Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks.
