Answer:
(1) Net income is reduced / decreased by $725
(2) Free cash flow is increased by $254
Explanation:
Before Change
Sales = 11250
-operating cost = 4500
-Depreciation = 1250
Net income before interest and tax = 5500
-Interest Expense = 228
Net income before tax = 5272
-Tax 35% = 5272 x 35% = 1845
Net income after interest and Tax = 3427
Free cash flow = CFO = Net Income before interest and Tax (1-Tax rate) + non-cash expenses – increase in non-cash net working capital.
CFO = 5500 (1-0.35) + 1250 – 2000 = 2825
After Change
New Depreciation = 1250 + 725 = 1975
Revise Net Income = 5500 + 1250 - 1975 = 4775
Effect on Net Income = 5500 - 4775 = Reduce / decrease by $725
Revised Free cash flow = Revised CFO = 4775 (1-0.35) + 1975 - 2000
Revised CFO = 3079
Effect on Free cash flow = 3079 - 2825 = increased by $254
