d.
$1159
e.

Answer:- Option (e): $950
Explanation: Given that,
In 2018,
Net income = $600;
After-tax operating income [EBIT (1-T)] = $700
Total assets = $2,000
In 2019,
Net income = $825
After-tax operating income [EBIT (1-T)] = $1,450
Total assets = $2,500
Net capital investment = Total assets for 2008 - Total assets for 2007
= $2,500 - $2,000
= $500
Free Cash Flow during 2019 = After-tax operating income for 2019 - Net capital investment
Free cash flow during 2019 = $1,450 - $500 = $950
So, Free cash flow generated by company during 2019 is $950
