What is the free cash flow for 2017?
Free cash Flow = Net operating income*(1-Tax rate) + Depreciation - Change in Net Operating Working Capital - Net Capital Spending
where, Change in Net Operating Working Capital(NOWC) = Net Operating Working Capital of 2019 - Net Operating Working Capital of 2018
Change in Net Operating Working Capital(NOWC) = $22,000 - $20,000 = $2000
- Net Capital Spending of 2019 = Net Plant & Equipment of 2019 + depreciation of 2019 - Net Plant & Equipment of 2018
Net Capital Spending of 2019 = $18,000 + $1200 - $15,000 = $4200
Free cash Flow = $7000*(1-15%) + $1200 - $2000 - $4200
Free cash Flow = $950
