Case in point example case question

Hi all,


im a newbie to prepping for consulting but was looking through the Nerves of Steel practice case. For inventory costs, why is the Future value using 2 years in the formula for the upfront cost while the inventory costs for each year use 1 yr? 
 

thank you!
