Answer 1

Year	Current Assets	Current Liabilities	Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilties
2014	924	370	554
2015	1002	428	574

Change in net working capital = 574 - 554 = 20

2. Change in Gross fixed assets = Net fixed assets of 2015 + Depreciation for 2015 - Net fixed assets of 2014

= 4556 + 1020 - 3917

= $1659

3.

	Particulars	Amount
A	Sales	11295
B	Costs	5535
C	Depreciation	1020
D	Earnings Before Interest & Tax ( A -B -C)	4740
E	Interest	180
F	Profit Before Tax (D - E)	4560
G	Tax @ 35%	1596
H	Net Income (F - G)	2964

Net Income for 2015 = $2,964

4. Free Cash Flow to the firm = EBIT ( 1- t) - Increase in working capital - capital expenditures

= 4740 ( 1 - 0.35) - 20 - 1659

=  3081 - 20 - 1659

= $1402
