Also, if the company gains income and assets then your share will also grow. In addition, there is much appreciation for your share either monthly or quarterly.
F.) I advise that the best working capital would be Optimal Level of working capital. As defined by Svtuition.org (2010), it is where the company can pay the daily expenses wherein they can afford to buy stocks if they are still not paid by the debtors.
