Question

How do I calculate loss of working capital due to delivery delay by a day.?

Answer 1

cash receipts lost less cash expenditures not used.  Assume that cash receipts would be sales and that cash expenditures would be labor and materials.

Answer 2

The easiest thing to do would be to determine how many hours of work you missed and multiply it by your hourly wage.  If your salaried like I am, I take my yearly wage and divide it by 2080 hours to determine an hourly rate.  If you're a commission based employee then, usually, your company will determine a "benefit wage" based on how much commission you've made.
