    b) + $200

    Explanation:

    Net Working Capital (NWC) or simply Working capital is the calculation between an organisation's current assets including accounts receivable, inventory and cash and the organisation's current liabilities including payables and advances among others. It simply measures how liquid an organisation is enough to meet its current obligations (liabilities).

    Calculate: The Net working Capital if the new project is accepted

    =NWC = Current assets - current liabilities

    Increase in raw materials is a current asset = $1000

    Increase in accounts payable is a current liability = $800

    Therefore NWC = $1,000 - $800

    =$200
