Balance Sheets: 2013 2012 Cash and equivalents $100   $85   Accounts receivable 275   300   Inventories 375   250         Total current assets $750   $635   Net plant and equipment 2,300   1,490   Total assets $3,050   $2,125   Accounts payable $150   $85   Accruals 75   50   Notes payable 150   75         Total current liabilities $375   $210   Long-term debt 450   290   Common stock 1,225   1,225   Retained earnings 1,000   400   Total liabilities and equity $3,050   $2,125  

Explanation / Answer

EBIT = 1250, Tax rate = 400

= 2300 -1490 = 810

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities = 750 - 375 = 375 ( 2013)
Working capital = 635 -210 = 425
Change in WC = Working Capital of 2013 - Working Capital of 2012 = 375 - 425 = -50
FCF = EBIT * ( 1- Tax rate ) + depereciation and amortisation - change in Capex +/- change in working capital
= 1250 * (1-0.4 ) + 100 -810 - 50 = -$10

Best of Luck. God Bless

Depreciation and amortization = 100
Change in capex = Plant and Machinery of 2013 - Plant and machinery of 2012
