    Hello,

    It may be a silly question so I apologise in advance.

    In appendix 1 and 3, when calculating the cash flows the examiner subtracted the depreciation.
    However I understand that the free cash flow to firm is usually calculated adding back the depreciation.
    Why is it different in this case? It appears to me that what the examiner calculated is simply the net profit and not the free cash flow.

    Thanks.
    Andrea

    I have just noticed that the answer does say that the depreciation is not added back because it is assumed to be the same as the capital needed for reinvestment.

    I do apologise.

    No problem.

    This is something that the current examiner does regularly. Sometimes it is actually stated in the question, but other times he just assumes it. As with everything in P4, if you do assume it then do state your assumption.
