It is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. A negative net working capital means that a company has more current liabilities than current assets. This can be a sign that the company is having difficulty meeting its short-term obligations.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few reasons why a company might have a negative net working capital. One reason is that the company is growing rapidly. When a company is growing, it often needs to invest in new assets, such as inventory and equipment. This can require the company to borrow money, which can increase its current liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason for a negative net working capital is that the company is not managing its cash flow effectively. If a company is not collecting its receivables on time or paying its payables late, it can accumulate a large amount of current liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>A negative net working capital can be a sign of trouble for a company. However, it is important to note that not all companies with a negative net working capital are in trouble. Some companies, such as those in the technology industry, intentionally operate with a negative net working capital in order to invest in growth.<\/p>\n<p>If you are concerned about your company&#8217;s net working capital, you should talk to your accountant or financial advisor. They can help you understand the reasons for your company&#8217;s net working capital and develop a plan to improve it.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: Long-term funds have been used for fixed assets. This is not necessarily the case. A company can have a negative net working capital even if it has not used long-term funds for fixed assets. For example, a company could have a negative net working capital if it is growing rapidly and has invested in new assets, such as inventory and equipment.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: Short-term funds have been used for fixed assets. This is also not necessarily the case. A company can have a negative net working capital even if it has not used short-term funds for fixed assets. For example, a company could have a negative net working capital if it is not managing its cash flow effectively and has accumulated a large amount of current liabilities.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: Long-term funds have been used for current assets. This is the correct answer. A company with a negative net working capital has more current liabilities than current assets. This means that the company has used long-term funds to finance its current assets.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: Short-term funds have been used for current assets. This is not necessarily the case. A company can have a negative net working capital even if it has not used short-term funds for current assets. For example, a company could have a negative net working capital if it is growing rapidly and has invested in new assets, such as inventory and equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Long-term funds have been used for fixed assets&#8221;
