    the question states -working capital will be increased annually at the start of years 2 to 4 by the inflation
    Then y do we calculate the increase in working for year 1 and deduct it
    Q no 13 in BBp

    The working capital at time 0 is 1,025 (which is the start of the first year).

    At the start of the second year (i.e. time 1) they need to increase it by 4%. So they need an extra 4% x 1,025 = 41 at time 1. They then have 1,025 + 41 = 1,066 working capital.

    At the start of the third year (i.e. time 2) they need to increase it by 5%. So they need an extra 5% x 1,066 = 53,. They now have 1,066 + 53 = 1,119 working capital.

    and so on 🙂

    Only working capital because of the nature of working capital (as was the case in paper FM also).
