Math Problem Statement

Bubba Ho-Tep Company reported net income of $310 million for the most recent fiscal year. The firm had depreciation expenses of $100 million and capital expenditures of $150 million. Although it had no interest expense, the firm did have an increase in net working capital of $30 million. What is Bubba Ho-Tepʹs free cash flow? can you give me the formula without using the cells on excel

Solution

The formula to calculate Free Cash Flow (FCF) is:

FCF=Net Income+DepreciationCapital ExpendituresΔNet Working CapitalFCF = \text{Net Income} + \text{Depreciation} - \text{Capital Expenditures} - \Delta \text{Net Working Capital}

Now, plug in the values:

  • Net Income = $310 million
  • Depreciation = $100 million
  • Capital Expenditures = $150 million
  • Increase in Net Working Capital (ΔNWC\Delta NWC) = $30 million

FCF=310+10015030FCF = 310 + 100 - 150 - 30

FCF=230millionFCF = 230 \, \text{million}

So, Bubba Ho-Tep's Free Cash Flow is $230 million.
