ISBN 1Depreciation expense $1,600

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) 2,700

Interest expense 367

Net profits after taxes 1,400

Tax rate 40%

Answer and Explanation:

A. net operating profit after taxes​ = NOPAT = EBIT x (1-Tax) = $2,700 x (1-40%) = $1,620

B. operating cash flow​  = OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation = $1,620 + 1,600 = $3,220

C. free cash flow​ = FCF = OCF - Net fixed asset investment - Net current asset investment

 FCF = $3,220 - (29,500 - 28,100) - (8,200 - 6,800) - ($1,600 + 200 - 1,500 - 300) =  $420
