OCF = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

OCF = $30,000 - $8,000 + $3,000 = $35,000
FCF = OCF - Net fixed asset investment (NFAI) - Net current asset investment
(NCAI)
NFAI = Change in net fixed assets + Depreciation
= (24,000 - 22,000) + 3,000 = $5,000
NCAI = Change in current assets - change in (Accounts payable + Accruals)
= (99,000 - 87,000) - (32,000 - 26,000)
= $6,000
FCF = 35,000 - 5,000 - 6,000 = $24,000
