    Net working capital addition was for 8,108 dollars

    Explanation:

    To solve for NWC we start form the accounting equation and then, we expand it to get the NWC expression:

    Assets = Liabilies + Equity

    we expend the formula

    current assets + fixed assets = current liabliies + non-currnet liab + stock + RE

    NWC = net working capital

    being: current assets - current liabilities

    (current assets - current liabilities) = non-currnet liab + stock + RE - fixed assets

    NWC = - 3,283 + 5,629 + RE - 24,154

    We need to solve fotr the change in Retained Earnings:

    which is net income - dividends:

    sales 316,547

    costs (219,406)

    other expenses (8,481)

    depreciation expense (18,633)

    interest expense (14,216)

    taxes (15,217)

    net income 40,594

    dividends (10,678)

    change in RE 29,916

    NWC = - 3,283 + 5,629 + 29,916 - 24,154

    NWC = 8,108
