Cellular Access Inc., is a cellular telephone service provider that reported net operating profit after tax (or unlevered net profit) of $250 million for the most recent fiscal year. The firm had depreciation expenses of $100 million, capital expenditures of $200 million, no interest expense, and an income tax rate of 30%. Working capital increased by $10 million. Calculate the free cash flow for Cellular Access for the most recent fiscal year.

Answer 1

Answer: $65 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The Free Cash Flow will be calculated as:

= EBIT(1-t) + Dep & Amortisation- Changes in Working Capital- Capital Expenditure

= 250(1-30%) + 100 - 200 - 10

= 250(0.7) + 100 - 200 - 10

= 175 + 100 - 210

= $65 million
