The working capital at time 0 is 35 (per the question). Because of inflation in Hotternia, it will need to be increased by 10% in the first year, so an extra 3.5 (rounded to 4). The total is now 39. In the second year it will need increased by inflation of 8%, so an extra 8% x 39 = 3.1 (rounded to 3). So the total is now 42. In the third year it will need to be increased by inflation of 8%, so an extra 8% x 42 = 3.36 (rounded to 3). And so on. Three lines above 'required' in the question, it says that they expect there exports to fall by 500,000 units a year, and so this is a cost of doing the investment.
