    1. Jackson = $350,000 and Pearce = $1,020,000

    2. Pearce

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the free cash flow is shown below:

    = EBIT * (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation & Amortization - Change in Net Working Capital - net capital Expenditure

    But for this question, the formula would be

    = Cash flow from operating activities - Cash investment in property & equipment

    1. For Jackson, it would be

    = $500,000 - $150,000

    = $350,000

    For Pearce, it would be

    = $1,500,000 - $480,000

    = $1,020,000

    2. If we see and compare the free cash flow, the Pearce has better cash flow due to the high cash flow from operating activities
