Which of the following items is not classified as working capital?

A.

Fuel

B.

Money to pay wages

C.

Semi-finished goods

D.

Equipment

Correct answer is D

The answer is equipment. Working capital is the difference between a company's current assets and current liabilities. Current assets are those that can be converted into cash within a year, such as cash, accounts receivable, and inventory. Current liabilities are those that are due within a year, such as accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Equipment is a long-term asset, meaning that it is not expected to be converted into cash within a year. Therefore, it is not classified as working capital.

 

The other options, fuel, money to pay wages, and semi-finished goods, are all current assets and are therefore classified as working capital.

 

To summarize, the item that is not classified as working capital is equipment.
