The after-tax cash flow generated by Eraser Corp in 2017 should be $89.5 million

Explanation:

Net income before tax = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Sales General and Admin Expenses = $200 million - $100 million - $50 million = $50 million

Eraser Corp faced a tax rate of 21%,

Tax paid = 21% x $50 million = $10.5 million

No money was spent on Capital Expenditures or on additional Net Working Capital.

The after-tax cash flow generated by Eraser Corp in 2017 = Net income before tax + Depreciation expense - Tax = $50 million + $50 million - $10.5 million = $89.5 million

Note: Depreciation expense is Non-Cash Expenses, so it does not include in Cash Flow.
