Compute the working capital for year 2017, using the equation as shown below:
Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities
= $45,000 - $50,000
= ($5,000)
Hence, the working capital is ($5,000).
Compute the working capital for the year 2018, using the equation as shown below:
Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities
= $50,000 - $35,000
= $15,000
Hence, the working capital is $15,000.
Compute the increase in working capital, using the equation as shown below:
Increase in working capital = Working capital for 2018 – Working capital for 2017
= $15,000 – ($5,000)
= $20,000
Hence, the increase in the working capital is $20,000.
Compute the capital expenditure, using the equation as shown below:
Capital expenditure = Closing fixed assets + Depreciation – Opening fixed assets
= $430,000 + $100,000 - $350,000
= $180,000
Hence, capital expenditure is $180,000.
Compute the net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT), using the equation as shown below:
NOPAT = EBIT*(1 – Tax rate)
= $250,000*(1 – 0.40)
= $150,000
Hence, NOPAT is $150,000.
Compute the free cash flow, using the equation as shown below:
Free cash flow = NOPAT + Depreciation – Increase in working capital – Capital expenditure
= $150,000 + $100,000 - $20,000 - $180,000
= $50,000
Hence, the free cash flows are $50,000.
