    The determination of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an entrywise nonnegative \(n \times n\) matrix \(A\) with spectrum \(\sigma\) is presented for the case \( n=5 \) with the trace equal to zero i. e. \(\lambda_1 +...+ \lambda_5 = 0\), where \(\lambda_i\) are complex numbers. This determination using the notion of \(n\)-cycle products is a part of the nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem.
