    I was solving a question in the Kaplan Revision kit where free cash flows formula was modified as; EBIT (1-T). In most texts, the free cash flows formula is usually given as EBIT. i would like to know why (1-T) was added to the formula, and what it stands for. Thank you.

    (1-T) means after tax.

    It will make EBIT into earnings after tax. So, for example, EBIT is 40,000 and tax rate is 40%, By multiplying 40000 with (1-0.4) you will get 24,000. which is earning after tax.

    The original formula of free cash flow does contain (1-T) but where tax rate is not given in the question then there is no need to use it.
