. a. Determine McMahon's free cash flow for both years.

Answer 1

$137,200; $103,600

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2015:

Free cash flow:

= Net cash flow from operating activity - Capital expenditure

= $294,000 - (70% × $224,000)

= $294,000 - $156,800

= $137,200

In 2016:

Free cash flow:

= Net cash flow from operating activity - Capital expenditure

= $280,000 - (70% × $252,000)

= $280,000 - $176,400

= $103,600
