    How to approach this question

    Calculate Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT), add back non-cash charges (depreciation), and deduct cash used for investments (capex and working capital).

    Full Answer

    A.$3,300,000✓ Correct
    Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) is the cash available to all investors (equity and debt) after taxes and reinvestment needs. Calculation: 1. NOPAT = PBIT $\times$ (1 - T) = $5,000,000 \times (1 - 0.20) = $4,000,000 2. Add Depreciation: $4,000,000 + $800,000 = $4,800,000 3. Less Capital Expenditure: $4,800,000 - $1,200,000 = $3,600,000 4. Less Increase in Working Capital: $3,600,000 - $300,000 = $3,300,000.

    Common mistakes

    Forgetting to apply tax to PBIT, or treating depreciation as a cash outflow.
