Answer:

Free cash flow to the firm = $180million

Explanation:

Free cash flow represents the amount that is left to all the providers of capital after the payment of all all operating expenses, working capital and investment in fixed asset expenditures.

It is computed as cash flow made from operation less capital expenditures

For Blur Communications

The Free cash flow

= EBIT(1-T) + depreciation- increase in capital expenditure - increase in working capital

= 1000 × (1-0.4) + 200 - 500 - 120

= $180 million

Free cash flow to the firm = $180million
