    D 18080 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Free Cash flow to the firm = Earning before int and tax (1-Tax rate) + non-cash expenses – fixed capital investment – working capital investment = 45000 *0.75 + 2380 – 22500 – 6800 = 6830 Depreciation is added because it was subtracted while calculating EBIT. As EBIT is before payment of interest and tax, we need not subtract interest payment (if given) nut we have to adjust for taxes. All types of capital expenditure (fixed capital and working capital) both are to be deducted.
