Answer:

The project will increase the net working capital of the firm by $4000

Explanation:

Net working capital measure how fast a company can convert its asset to cash, the networking capital can be obtained with the expression below;

net working capital (NWC) = current assets - current liabilities

Current asset = Increase in raw materials = $6,000

Current liabilities  = accounts payable increase =  $2,000

NWC= Increase in raw materials-increase in accounts payable

          =$6,000 -$2,000

           =$4000

Therefore this project will increase the net working capital of the firm by $4000
