Explanation / Answer

Computation of free cash flow

Free cash flow= Cash flow from operations- Capital expenditure

Cash flow from operations= $ 68200

Capital Expenditure=$ 25000 (Purchase of equipment)

Therefore, Free cash flow=$ 68200 - $ 25000

                                               = $ 43200
