Diebold Incorporated manufactures, markets, and services automated teller machines in the United States. The following are selected numbers from the financial statements for 1992 and 1993 (in millions):
1992
Revenues = $544.0
(Less) Operating Expenses = ($465.1)
(Less) Depreciation = ($12.5)
= Earnings before Interest and Taxes = $66.4
(Less) Interest Expenses = ($0.0)
(Less) Taxes = ($25.3)
= Net Income = $41.1
Working Capital = $175.0
1993
Revenues = $620.0
(Less) Operating Expenses = ($528.5)
(Less) Depreciation = ($14.0)
= Earnings before Interest and Taxes = $77.5
(Less) Interest Expenses = ($0.0)
(Less) Taxes = ($29.5)
= Net Income = $48.0
Working Capital = $240.0
The firm had capital expenditures of $15 million in 1992 and $18 million in 1993. The working capital in 1991 was $180 million
- Estimate the free cash flows in 1992 and 1993.
- What would the free cash flows in 1993 have been if working capital had remained at the same percentage of revenue it was in 1992?
