Answer:

The free cash flow to the firm or FCFF based on the available data is $6,205,000.

Explanation:

The free cash flow is used in the valuation of the firm and its equity. The free cash flow to the firm can be calculated starting from the EBIT, that is earnings before interest and tax, using the following formula,

FCFF = EBIT * (1-tax rate)  +  Depreciation Expense  -  Capital expenditure  -  Increase in net working capital

FCFF = 10,150,000 * (1-0.3)  +  1,100,000  -  1,600,000  -  400,000

FCFF = $6,205,000
