Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation of free cash flow for Monach textiles, 2017

EBIT = EBT + Interest expense EBIT

EBIT = $408 + $50

EBIT = $458

Tax rate = Tax / EBT

Tax rate = $163.20 / $408

Tax rate = 0.4 = 40%

Operating cash flow = EBIT × (1 - Tax rate) + Depreciation - Change in net working capital - Capital expenditure

= $458 × (1 - 0.4) + $82 - ($640 - $360) - ($460 - $280)

= $274.8 + $82 - $280 - $180

= $274.8 + $92 - $100

= $256.8
