Expert Solution

Free Cash Flows is the net difference of Operating Cash Flows and Capital Expenditure

(a) Free Cash Flow for Obermeyer Corporation for the year 2017-

Particulars	Amount ($)
Operating Cash Flows	73,700
Less- Capital Expenditure
Purchase of equipment	(27,000)

Free Cash Flow	46,700

(b) Free Cash Flow provides better information than cash flow from operating activities as the free cash flow gives the overview of the amount available after incurrinh the expenses for the business. whereas the operating activities gives only the brief income after paying the operating expenses (like rent, depreciation, general expenses etc) that are available for business.

For the Year 2019

Cash Debt Coverage Ratio-

Cash Flow from operation / Total Business debt
=(132,000/50,000)*100
=2.64%

Free Cash Flows

Cash Flow from Operation - Capital Expenditure incurred by business
=132,000 - Nil (since there is no capital expenditure by the company in the current year)
=132,000.

Liquidity:
Since, the company net working capital of the year 2017 is 14,700 it has fair liquidity position as it current assets are increasing comparitive to the current liabilities.

Financial:
As comparing the data of 2017 with 2019, company is paying more debt in comparison to issuing the equity. The company is paying more Bonds repayment in 2019 in comparison to 2017.
