Answer:

$188,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Free cash flow is computed by deducting capital expenditure (basically the investing activities net cash flow) from operating cash flow. Thus, $327,000 - $139,000 = $188,000 is the free cash flow of the company.

Roger’s plan to spend $253,000 for warehouse and pay cash dividends in the amount of $35,000 are both investing activities. But we don’t consider it in our computation because there is NO ACTUAL outflow of cash yet.
