In the fifth paragraph of the question says: The working capital will be increased annually at the start of each of Years 2 to 4 by the inflation rate and is fully recoverable at the end of the project’s life.
The answer shows: There is $41,000 cash outflow of working capital in Year 1 after adjustment of 4% of inflation rate.
My question is: In the fifth paragraph states the adjustment is at the start of each of Years 2 to 4, why is the adjustment also made in Year 1?
