Free Cash Flow Calculation. Calculate each companys Free Cash Flow for each of the last 4 fiscal years. Use negative Provision for Income Tax (it will be a negative number if the company paid taxes) divided by Pretax Income as the tax rate for each year in the data below your Income Statements. Use a tax rate of zero for any year that the company didnt pay taxes or had a tax refund (positive Provision for Income Tax).
