Answer:
a)
incremental earnings year 1 = $49.53 million
incremental earnings year 2 = $31.85 million
b)
free cash flow year 1 = $34.13 million
free cash flow year 2 = $21.05 million
Explanation:
Year 1 Year 2
Revenues 129.5 151.4
COGS & Oper. Exp. (not depreciation) 32.9 65.7
Depreciation 20.4 36.7
Increase in Net Working Capital 2.7 7.4
Capital Expenditures 33.1 40.1
Marginal Corporate Tax Rate 35% 35%
incremental earnings year 1 = (revenues - COGS - depreciation) x (1 - tax rate) = (129.5 - 32.9 - 20.4) x (1 - 35%) = $49.53 million
incremental earnings year 2 = (revenues - COGS - depreciation) x (1 - tax rate) = (151.4 - 65.7 - 36.7) x (1 - 35%) = $31.85 million
free cash flow year 1 = incremental earnings + depreciation - increase in net working capital - capital expenditures = [(129.5 - 32.9 - 20.4) x (1 - 35%)] + 20.4 - 2.7 - 33.1 = $34.13 million
free cash flow year 2 = incremental earnings + depreciation - increase in net working capital - capital expenditures = [(151.4 - 65.7 - 36.7) x (1 - 35%)] + 36.7 - 7.4 - 40.1 = $21.05 million
