PDF format as it’s unlikely you’ll have the font to match.

This is a four page booklet designed for GCSE Business Studies to introduce Working Capital.
Students must first (on page 2) decide whether each item is an asset or liability and whether the assets are fixed or current and the liabilities are long-term or current.
On page 3 they review what assets and liabilities are.
On page 4 they must write the formula for working capital (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) and then calculate in an exam style question.

Updated with answers!
A nice little task when teaching Business Location.
Print or display the drawn choices of possible locations. Students complete the handout by selecting an appropriate location (by letter) and giving their reasons for their choice. There's no answer sheet, but selections should be appropriate with sensible reasoning.
This could then lead to a class discussion, a nice starter!
Apologies for my drawings! I'm no artist...

Enjoy.
