2 | 1 | 75000 | |
3 | 2 | 125,000 | |
4 | 3 | 125,000 | |
5 | 4 | 125,000 | |
6 | 5 | 50,000 | |

The proposal should be accepted because IRR is greater than
WACC( 26% > 11%)
Working capital management is efficient use of current assets
(inventories, accounts receivable, etc.) and current liabilities
(short term debt, accounts payables, etc...). Positive working
capital means current assets can pay off all current liabilities
and vice versa.
It is important for maintaining liquidity in the firm. It is
important to manage short term cash flows of the firm. Higher
Working capital low the cash flow and lower the working capital
higher the cash flow. It helps in higher profitability, competitive
edge over competitors, increased liquidity, etc.
Best of Luck. God Bless
