51 Correct answer is C “Understanding the Cash Flow Statement,” Thomas R. Robinson, Hennie van Greuning, Elaine Henry, and Michael A. Broihahn 2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 3, pp. 275-278, 287-288 Study Session 8-34-i explain and calculate free cash flow to the firm, free cash flow to equity, and other cash flow ratios Free cash flow to equity in a company without any debt is equal to cash flow from operations (CFO) less capital expenditures. CFO = net income + depreciation + loss on sale of equipment + decrease in accounts receivable - increase in inventories + increase in accounts payable. (The loss on sale of equipment is added back when calculating CFO. It would have been deducted in the calculation of net income but the loss is not the cash impact of the transaction (the proceeds received, if any, would be the cash effect) and cash flows related to equipment transactions are investing activities, not operating activities.) CFO = 45.8 + 18.2 + 1.6 + 4.2 - 3.4 + 2.5 = $68.9 million $68.9 - $7.3 = $61.6 million free cash flow to equity. 52 Correct answer is D “Financial Statement Analysis: An Introduction,” Thomas R.
