Answer:

b. $4,213

Explanation:

Net Operating Profit = Sales - Operating costs - Depreciation Expenses

Net Operating Profit = $172,500 - $140,500 - $9,250

Net Operating Profit = $22,750

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = Net Operating Profit After Tax(NOPAT) – Capital Expenditures – Changes in Net Working Capital

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = Net operating income*(1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation Expenses - Capital Expenditures - Changes in Net Working Capital

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $22,750 *(1 - 0.25) + $9,250 - $15,250 - $6,850

Free Cash Flow (FCF) =  $22,750 *0.75) + $9,250 - $15,250 - $6,850

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $17,063 + $9,250 - $15,250 - $6,850

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $4,213.

lesya692 [45]

The dollar-weighted annual yield for this nine-month period is -2.7%.

<u>Solution:</u>

The investment of deposit on April 1 (Feb, March = 2 months)

\Rightarrow\frac{(9-2)}{9}\times1200=\frac{(7)}{9}\times1200

The investment of deposit on May 1 (Feb, March, April = 3 months)

\Rightarrow\frac{(9-3)}{9}\times1200=\frac{(6)}{9}\times1200

Therefore, Dollar-weighted annual yield for this nine-month period,

\Rightarrow \frac{\text{Total interest}}{\text{Total investments}}

On plugging-in the values,

\Rightarrow\frac{14820-(19800+1200+2600-8400}{19800+\frac{7}{9}(1200)+\frac{6}{9}(2600)-8400}=-0.027

In percentage notation,

-0.027=(-0.027\times100)\frac{1}{100}=-2.7\% (\because \frac{1}{100}=\%)
