c. What is free cash flow? Why is it important? What are the five uses of FCF? Answer: See Mini Case Show.
e. What is Computron’s free cash flow (FCF)? What are Computron’s “net uses” of its FCF?
b. What do you conclude from the statement of cash flows? Answer: See Mini Case Show.
The Total OperatingCapital is Net Operating Working Capital plus any fixed assets.
d. What is Computron’s net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)? What are operating current assets? What are operating current
liabilities? How much net operating working capital and total net operating capital does Computron have?
NOPAT is the amount of profit Computron would generate if it had no debt and held no financial assets.
Those current assets used in operations are called operating current assets, and the current liabilities that result from operations
are called operating current liabilities. Net operating working capital is equal to operating current assets minus operating
current liabilities.

Free Cash Flow
2013 FCF = NOPAT -Net Investment in Operating Capital
Uses of FCF: 2013
After-tax interest payment = $105,600
Reduction (increase) in debt =
-$1,196,568
2012 2013
Cost of Capital (WACC) 10% 10%
Return on Invested Capital
2013
ROIC =NOPAT ÷ Operating Capital
Economic Value Added
2013 EVA = NOPAT - Operating Capital x WACC
= $10,464 -$2,257,632 x10%
Year-end common stock price $8.50 $6.00
Year-end shares outstanding (in millions) 100,000 100,000
Assume that the market value of debt is equal to the book value of debt. In this case, Market Value Added (MVA) is the difference
between the market value of Computron's stock and the amount of equity capital supplied by shareholders.
h. What happened to Computron's market value added (MVA)?
g. What is Computron's EVA? The after-tax cost of capital was 10 percent in both years.
f. Calculate Computron’s return on invested capital. Computron has a 10% cost of capital (WACC). Do you think Computron’s
growth added value?
The Return on Invested Capital tells us the amount of NOPAT per dollar of operating capital.
Economic Value Added represents Computron's residual income that remains after the cost of all capital, including equity capital,
has been deducted.
Computron's Free Cash Flow caluclation is the cash flow actually availabe for distribution to investors after the company has
made all necessary investments in fixed assets and working capital to sustain ongoing operations.

between the market value of Computron's stock and the amount of equity capital supplied by shareholders.
i. Assume that a corporation has $100,000 of taxable income from operations plus $5,000 of interest income and $10,000 of
dividend income. What is the company's tax liability?
j. Assume that you are in the 25 percent marginal tax bracket and that you have $5,000 to invest. You have narrowed your
investment choices down to California bonds with a yield of 7 percent or equally risky ExxonMobil bonds with a yield of 10
percent. Which one should you choose and why? At what marginal tax rate would you be indifferent to the choice between
California and ExxonMobil bonds?
