**Question:**

The 2017 balance sheet of Dream, Inc., showed current assets of $1,320 and current liabilities of $840. The 2018 balance sheet showed current assets of $1,760 and current liabilities of $1,140. What was the company’s 2018 change in net working capital, or NWC?

**Options:**

- A. $740
- B. -$740
- C. $114
- D. $140

The correct answer is **D. $140**.

**Explanation:**

Net Working Capital (NWC) is calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

For 2017:
- NWC = Current Assets (2017) - Current Liabilities (2017)
- NWC = $1,320 - $840 = $480

For 2018:
- NWC = Current Assets (2018) - Current Liabilities (2018)
- NWC = $1,760 - $1,140 = $620

Change in NWC from 2017 to 2018:
- Change in NWC = NWC (2018) - NWC (2017)
- Change in NWC = $620 - $480 = $140

Thus, the company's change in net working capital for 2018 is $140.
