For the year ending december 31, 2017, rodgers electric expects net cash provided by operations of $ 327 comma 000, net cash used by investing activities of $ 139 comma 000, and net cash provided by financing activities of $ 47 comma 000. rodgers plans to spend $ 253 comma 000 to add a warehouse for its operations and pays $ 35 comma 000 in cash dividends. what is the amount of free cash flow?

$188,000

Explanation:

Free cash flow is computed by deducting capital expenditure (basically the investing activities net cash flow) from operating cash flow. Thus, $327,000 - $139,000 = $188,000 is the free cash flow of the company.

Roger’s plan to spend $253,000 for warehouse and pay cash dividends in the amount of $35,000 are both investing activities. But we don’t consider it in our computation because there is NO ACTUAL outflow of cash yet.
