*Any doubt please comment
Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes = 1640 - 880- 190 - 173.6 = 396.4
Capital spending = 344 +86 -17 = 413
Change in Net working capital = (670-370) - ( 40- 290) = 550
Free cash flow = Operating cash flow - Capital spending - Additions to working capital = 396.4 - 413 - 550 = -566.6
