    The correct answer is option (D).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Operating Income (EBIT) = $2,500,000

    Depreciation Expense = $500,000

    Tax rate = 40%

    Net investment = $1,000,000

    So, we can calculate the BBC's free cash flow by using following formula:

    = EBIT * (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation & Amortization - Net investment

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $2,500,000 * (1 - 40%) + $500,000 - $1,000,000

    = $1,500,000 + $500,000 - $1,000,000

    = $1,000,000
