An increase in stock of Rs. 250, a decrease in bank balance of Rs. 400, and an increase in creditors of Rs. 1200 results in _____?

Explanation

Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

  1. Increase in stock (Rs. 250) → Increases current assets
  2. Decrease in bank balance (Rs. 400) → Decreases current assets
  3. Increase in creditors (Rs. 1200) → Increases current liabilities

Net impact on working capital:
(250 - 400 - 1200) = -1350

Thus, there is a decrease of Rs. 1,350 in working capital.
