Answer:

$1,755,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the free cash flow is shown below:

Free cash flow = EBIT × (1 -Tax Rate) - Change in Net Working Capital - net capital Expenditure

= $4,000,000 × (1 - 0.30) - $45,000 - $1,000,000

= $2,800,000 - $45,000 - $1,000,000

= $1,755,000

We simply applied the above formula to determine the free cash flow
