Need help with units from an inverse laplace transform

So i had to do some work in laplace. I used matlab instead because mathcad couldnt figure out the answer. 

My matlab script does it no problem and returns the equation in this attached sheet. I have removed the numbers for simplicity. This is the time domain inverse laplace equation. 

 

The answer is correct. When i input the number i get what i expect. 

the problem is, i need this to be in mathcad to go with some other work.

When i add it to mathcad, it does not like the units. 

The sheet i have attached is just doing the math with the units to show where the problem is. Mathcad is upset because in a certain part of the equation its multiplying Volts by ohms 

This is just a fact of what the inverse laplace is. The answer of the equation should have units of seconds

 

I have no idea how to make this work. Im sure there is some trick to this. 

Can someone lend a hand?

thank you very much. Can you explain a little bit about what you did. I see you got it to work but i dont fully understand

 

it seems that your formula is missing something, an s (second), or maybe something like Hz:

I just multiplied the s as you did and it worked. Thank you very much. You literally just saved my entire day.
