-$190

Explanation:

Net working capital:

= Current assets - Current liabilities

Net working capital for 2017:

= ($4,810 - $2,230)

= $2,580

Net working capital for 2018:

= ($5,360 - $2,970)

= $2,390

change net working capital:

= ($2,390 - $2,580)

= ($190) (Negative)

Therefore, the company's 2018 change in net working capital, or NWC is ($190).
