Answer 1

Answer:

$34.39

Explanation:

EBIT = EBT + Interest Expense

EBIT = 369.00 + 50  

EBIT = $419

Tax Rate = Tax / EBT

Tax Rate = 147.60 / 419

Tax Rate = 0.352267

Tax Rate = 35.23%

Working Capital, 2017 = Current Assets, 2017 - Current Liabilities, 2017

Working Capital, 2017 = 595 - 345

Working Capital, 2017 = $250

Working Capital, 2016 = Current Assets, 2017 - Current Liabilities, 2017

Working Capital, 2016 = 430 - 265

Working Capital, 2016 = $165

Change in Working Capital = Working Capital, 2017 - Working Capital, 2016

Change in Working Capital = $250 - $165

Change in Working Capital = $85

Capital Expenditure = Net Fixed Assets, 2017 - Net Fixed Assets, 2016

Capital Expenditure = $304 - $152

Capital Expenditure = $152

Free Cash Flow = EBIT * (1 - Tax Rate) - Change in Working Capital - Capital Expenditure

Free Cash Flow = $419*(1- 35.23%) - $85 - $152

Free Cash Flow = $271.39 - $85 - $152

Free Cash Flow = $34.39
