    Free Cash Flow = $4,213

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Firm's free cash flow:

    Tax rate = 25%

    Net working capital = $6,850

    Capital expenses = $15,250

    Sales = $172,500

    Operating costs other than depreciation = $140,500

    Depreciation = $9,250

    Operating income = $22,750

    Now,

    Operating income after tax ($22,750*75%) $17,063

    Add: Depreciation $9,250

    Less: Capital expenditure $15,250

    Less: Working capital $6,850

    Free Cash Flow $4,213
