In order to sustain its operations, the firm was required to spend $750 to buy new fixed assets and to invest $250 in net operating working capital. How much free cash flow did Veazy generate?
Sales = $ 8250
Less: Operating Costs = $ 4500
EBITDA = $ 3750
Less: Depreciation = $ 950
EBIT = $ 2800
Less: Interest Expense = Outstanding Bonds x Interest Rate = 3250 x 0.0675 = $ 219.375
Earnings Before Tax (EBT) = $ 2580.625
Less: Tax Expense @ 35 % = 0.35 x 2580.625 = $ 903.2188
Net Income = $ 1677.406
Add: Depreciation = $ 950
Add: After-Tax Interest Expense = 219.375 x (1-0.35) = $ 142.5938
Less: Investment in Fixed Assets = $ 750
Less: Investment in Net Operating Working Capital = $ 250
Free Cash Flow to Firm = $ 1770
