Answer 1

Answer: $11.16 million.

Explanation:

Free Cash Flow Catering Corp Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) can be calculated by the following formula,

EBIT = Operating Cashflow + Taxes - Depreciation.

Operating Cashflow = Free Cashflow + Investment in Operating Capital

= 8.08 million + 2.08 million

= $10.16 million

EBIT = 10.16 million + 2.08 million - 1.08 million

EBIT = $11.16 million.
