A firm forecasts its net working capital needs for a $5-$year project as follows:

t$=0$: $$325,000$

t$=1$ through t$=4$: NWC increases by $$50,000$ per year

t$=5$: NWC goes to $$0$

Assume the WACC for this project is $8\%$ per year. If the firm could cut its NWC needs in half $($i$.$e$.$ the initial NWC would be cut in half, and the annual increases would be half as much$),$ by using lean operation techniques, by how much would the NPV of the project be improved?
