(a)
Compute the net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for 2020, using the equation as shown below
NOPAT = Earnings before interest and taxes*(1 – Tax rate)
= $1,040*(1 – 0.25)
= $780 million
Hence, the NOPAT is $780 million.
(b)
Compute the net operating working capital (NOWC), using the equation as shown below:
Year 2019
NOWC = Cash + Accounts receivables + Inventories – Accounts payables – Notes payables – Accruals
= $600 + $2,500 + $1,800 - $1,200 - $100 - $600
= $3,000
Hence, the NOWC is $3,000 million.
Year 2020
NOWC = Cash + Accounts receivables + Inventories – Accounts payables – Notes payables – Accruals
= $650 + $2,750 + $1,950 - $1,300 - $190 - $650
= $3,210
Hence, the NOWC is $3,210 million.
(c)
Compute the total net operating capital (NOC), using the equation as shown below:
Year 2019:
NOC = NOWC + Net fixed assets
= $3,000 + $3,500
= $6,500
Hence, the NOC is $6,500 million.
Compute the total net operating capital (NOC), using the equation as shown below:
Year 2020:
NOC = NOWC + Net fixed assets
= $3,210 + $3,750
= $6,960
Hence, the NOC is $6,960 million.
(d)
Compute the free cash flow (FCF) for the year 2020, using the equation as shown below:
FCF = NOPAT + Depreciation – Change in NOC – Change in short term investment
= $780 + $440 – ($6,960 - $6,500) – ($130 - $100)
= $780 + $440 - $460 - $30
= $730 million
Hence, the FCF for the year 2020 is $730 million.
