El circulante comprende los bienes y los fondos que se han utilizado en el proceso de producción, en el transcurso de un período de tiempo determinado. Por ejemplo, si nos referimos al año natural, las semillas y los fertilizantes son capital circulante, porque la mayor parte de las cosechas se recolectan anualmente. 3, record 1, Spanish, - capital%20circulante
