Explanation / Answer

Free cash flow can be defined as "Cash a firm produce from its operations less the cost of capital expenditure."

So we can compute Free Cash Flow (FCF) of Apex Company as follows:

Cash From operation may be derive from the given cash flow statment as $31700.00

Capital Expences by Apex Company i.e. Expences on equipments and assets may be calculated as follows

Additions to Plant & Machinery $ 120900

Proceeds from the sale of equipments is $ 15000

So the Net expenditure on Equipments is $120900 -$15000 = $105900

So, the FCF is = Operating Cash Flow - Capital Expenditure

$31700-$105900

= $74200 (Negative)

So, Free Cash Flow (FCF) of Apex Company is $74200 (Negative)
