Suppose that the managers of the router division of Cisco Systems are considering the development of a wireless home networking appliance, called HomeNet, that will provide both the hardware and the software necessary to run an entire home from any Internet connection. Cisco's receivables are 14.1% of sales and its payables are 14.7% of COGS. Forecast the required investment in net working capital for HomeNet assuming that sales and cost of goods sold (COGS) will be as follows: The required investment in net working capital for year 0 is $0. (Round to the nearest integer. Enter decreases as negative numbers.) The required investment in net working capital for year 1 is $ The required investment in net working capital for year 2 is $ The required investment in net working capital for year 3 is $ The required investment in net working capital for year 4 is $ 1934.06 (Round to the nearest integer.
