    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
