We need not redraw the total balance sheet, but we should ensure that we are taking all the accounts into consideration.

Marking in the problem itself is an option. But in examination conditions, we may not be allowed to mark anything on the question paper. In such situations, a list of the account names would help.

Net Change in Working Capital 1,64,000

There is a decrease in working capital to the extent of 1,64,000.

The net change can also be obtained from the working capital figures relating to the two balance sheet dates.

Change in Working Capital = Working Capital as on 31/03/07 - Working Capital as on 31/03/06
= 12,46,000 - 14,00,000
= - 1,64,000
Negative value indicates a decrease in working capital.

Solution » Working Notes

Make up the ledgers for all the non-current accounts. We may skip making up the ledgers for the non-current accounts which have not changed over the period. If in doubt make up all the accounts.

Try Placing the account holding the accumulated profits towards the end.

Alternative : Using the Statement of Changes in Non-Current accounts

Where there is no additional data apart from the balance sheets and we are sure that there are no other transactions that have affected the non-current accounts, we may derive the inflow/outflow by comparing the opening and closing figures.
