Question

bartleby Clayborn Corporation's net cash provided by operating activities was $118,800; its net income was $106,100; its income taxes were $46,900; its capital expenditures were $96,300; and its cash dividends were $30,200. Required: Determine the company's free cash flow. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer 1

Answer: -$7,700

Explanation:

The Free Cash Flow is the amount of after tax income that a company has that can go to both its shareholders and debt holders.

When using cash from operating activities, taxes have already been accounted for so it is calculated as:

= Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditure - Cash Dividends

= 118,800 - 96,300 - 30,200

= -$7,700
