When estimating FCFF for division B spinoff, depreciation is deducted from FCF to arrive at taxable profits. But depreciation is not added back subsequently even though it is not a cash flow - doesn't this underestimate Vogel's CF by the tax allowable depreciation amount? Thanks!

It is because the amount needed to maintain the assets (which is a cash flow) is assumed to be the same as the depreciation figure.
