Answer: $99,964

Explanation:

Given that,

EBIT = $135,000

Corporate tax rate = 35% of $135,000 = $47,250

Depreciation = $25,714

Need additional cash = $20,250

Additional supplies = $10,800

Accrual including taxes and wage payable will increase by $6,750

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $135,000 - $47,250 + $25,714

= $113,464

Investment in operating capital = Additional capital expenditure + Increase in NWC (net working capital)

= $0 + [ ($20,250 + $10,800) - ($10,800 + $6750)

= $13,500

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating capital

= $113,464 - $13,500

= $99,964
