i. decrease cash
ii. No change to net working capital

c. Paying $5,000 previously owed to one of its suppliers.

i. decrease cash
ii. No change to net working capital

d. Borrowing $1 million long-term and investing the proceeds in inventory.

i. increase cash
ii. Increase net working capital

e. Borrowing $1 million short-term and investing the proceeds in inventory.

i. increase cash
ii. Increase net working capital

f. Selling $5 million of marketable securities for cash.

I read the announcement and am now a bit more confused. I supplied the answers to the question... I did not ask for the answers, I simply asked was I heading in the right direction?

A) Looks fine

B) A customer is paying you, so that would increase your cash, not decrease it. As for NWC, you are correct, there would be no change.

C) Looks fine

D) Looks fine

E) You are right, it would increase cash. However, since it is short term, both CA and CL would increase, therefore, no change in NWC

F) Looks fine

Thank u CaptainForest. I see where I made the error on the short term investments. I'm finally getting the hang of this! I appreciate your guidance...

You're welcome
