Free Cash Flow (FCF)=NOPAT−Net Investment in Operating Capital Net Investment in Operating Capital = Total Net Operating Capital Current Year −Total Net Operating Capital Previous Year Net Investment in Operating Capital = $ 25 million - $24million = $1 million FCF = $3million - $1million FCF = $2million 7. Explain to the chairman of the board five uses of free cash flow that can help maximize the value of the firm. 1. Debut Reduction: Utilizing available cash flow to reduce debt is a viable tactic for enhancing the company's financial health. By reducing debt levels, the company can lower interest expenses, improve its credit rating, and increase its borrowing capacity. This can lead to lower financing costs and greater financial flexibility, ultimately enhancing the firm's value. 2. Dividend Payments: Allocate free cash flow to shareholders through dividend distributions. Consistent dividend disbursements appeal to investors in search of income, potentially boosting the company's stock value and overall appeal to investors. 3. Shares Repurchases: An alternative method for employing available cash flow involves engaging in share buybacks. When the company repurchases its own shares from the market, it decreases the total outstanding shares, potentially leading to an increase in earnings per share (EPS) and a potential rise in the stock price. Share repurchases may also convey confidence in the company's future outlook, attracting additional investors and augmenting the overall value of the firm. 4. Capital Expenditures (CapEx): Reinvest free cash flow into strategic capital expenditures. Funding strategic investments, research and development, infrastructure upgrades, market expansion, acquisitions, and efficiency improvements. It enables companies to future revenue growth and profitability, innovation, and long-term competitiveness 5. Acquisitions and Strategic Investments: companies to pursue mergers, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships, facilitating expansion into new markets, diversification, and enhancing competitive positions. It enables firms to invest strategically, driving long-term growth and shareholder value.
