StanleyMo Analyst notes dun repeat questions!
aparish No, it's not a repeat. The first question asks us to calculate FCFF and FCFE from NI. This question asks us to calculate them from CFO.
Allen88 I guess CFO= NI + NCC - WCInv
rocyang agreed, it's the process that counts!
Paulvw Analystnotes is giving us sufficient data for both CFO and NI approaches to make us think about *both*. In the exam we will have sufficient info for one approach, and enough on the other to confuse us if we are unfamiliar. Good question.
davcer Net income approach NI+NCC+int(1-tx)-WCinv-FCinv
CFO approach CFO+int(1-tx)-FCinv

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
