Sir, I need ur a lil bit help in the working of working capital. I am not getting y they did not rounded it off in yr 1 nd yr 2 while they did so in yr 3&4. If I am not wrong the working goes on in this way: $150,000*5%+ =157,500 that shows an increment of $7,500. Thank you

The rate of inflation is not 5% - it is 4.7%. So at time 1, the incremental WC is 150 x 4.7% = 7.050. The examiner has rounded to the nearest thousand which is normal. At time 2, it should be 157 x 4.7% = 7.379. Again he has rounded to the nearest thousand.
