for estimating FCF we have: FCF= (EBIT)(1-T) + T(CCA) + NWC + Capex The cash flow elements to be estimated are: • net operating cash flows after tax (a.k.a. NOPAT, net operating profit after tax)(EBIT)(1-T) • the tax shield on Capital Cost TCCA • Incremental net working capital requirements NWC • incremental long-term assets Capex. At the end of the study period we also have estimates of cash inflow from sale of residual assets (RV), or the present value of FCFs which extend beyond
