Working capital is the amount that a company’s current assets exceeds its current liabilities and is a measure of the company’s ability to pay its debts and liabilities if they were to all become due in the near future. Assets and liabilities are considered “current” if the asset is able to be converted into cash within one year and if the liability must be paid within one year (Bagul, 2014).

These large sums are on account of the fact that both companies hold higher than normal levels of cash and investments (securities) when compared to most large corporations.

On the other hand, this high amount of working capital shows that the company could be investing its assets in a more efficient manner, rather than allowing them to sit unutilized.
