How much free cash flow (FCF) is Sally Rubber Co. expected to generate over the next year?

Answer 1

$1,400 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for free cash flow (FCF)

Using this formula

Free cash flow= Net income+ Non cash expenses-Net capital expenditures- Increase in Net operating working capital

Let plug in the formula

Free cash flow=$1,700 million + $0 million -$255 million -$45 million

Free cash flow =$1,400 million

Therefore the amount of free cash flow (FCF) that Sally Rubber Co. expected to generate over the next year will be $1,400 million
