    Explanation:

    Due to the expansion inventory would increase by $4,500 ($9,500-$5,000)

    Accounts receivable would also increase by $4,000 over its previous amount.

    Accounts payable would reduce by $10,000 as compared to previous balance of accounts payable

    The change in net working capital=$4,500+$4,000+$10,000=$18,500

    This is a use of cash not a source of cash inflow
