The free cash flow can be calculated as below:

Revenue 12000000

Less: Expense (8000000)

Less: Depreciation (1500000)

Earnings Before Tax 2500000

Less Tax (750000)

Earnings after tax 1750000

Add Depreciation 1500000

Total Cash Earnings 3250000

Less: Change in Working Capital (500000)

Less : Purchase of Asset (700000)

Free Cash Flow 2050000

Thus Free Cash Flow can be calculated as above.
