Philoid · Accepted Answer

Working capital is the amount of capital required for meeting the day-to-day operations of the business. In this case, Ramnath is purchasing the components of television on 3 months of credit, and selling the company's product in cash. His working capital requirement is reduced to the extent of credit availed by him.
