How and why does working capital influence the incremental cash flow estimation for a planned large capital budgeting project? Explain.
Many large projects need additional working capital. This investment in additional working capital turns into a part of the initial investment. This investment is recovered at the ending of the project’s life. There may be some spontaneous raise in current liabilities related with a project, although the change in net working capital, if any, is similarly to be a positive value requiring an increase in the initial investment of that amount.
