    The answer scheme shows that dividend capacity was calculated using the direct method where calculation is based on operating profit after interest and tax.

    Could we use indirect method instead? Where interest expense is deducted after FCF (together at the part where debt repayment deduction is) is calculated?

    However, why is it that debt repayment wasn’t included? Does it mean that dividend capacity means FCF instead of FCFE?

    The dividend capacity is the free cash flow to equity.

    In this particular question there isn’t any other way of arriving at the figure.

    There is no mention of a debt repayment in the question 🙂
    (The current capital structure is not expected to change in the foreseeable future)

    Both the futures prices and the spot rate are given in $’s per Euro.

    The contract size is in $’s, but the only relevant of this is to determine how many contracts will be dealt in.

    185 contracts is correct (and is the same as in the examiners answer!).
