What was net operating working capital for 2020 and 2021? Assume the firm has no excess cash. Post Submission Feedback Solution a. NOWC2020 = Operating current assets - Operating current liabilities = (Current assets - Excess cash) - (Current liabilities - Notes payable) ($693,000,000 - $0) - ($378,000,000 - $42,000,000) = $693,000,000 - $336,000,000 = $357,000,000. NOWC2021 = ($821,000,000 - $0) - ($433,200,000 - $46,200,000) = $821,000,000 - $387,000,000 = $434,000,000. b. FCF2021 = [EBIT(1 - T) + Deprec.] - [Cap. expend. + ANOWC] =[$519,000,000(1 - 0.25) + $58,000,000] - [$134,000,000 + [$434,000,000 - $357,000,000]] = [$389,250,000 + $58,000,000] - [$134,000,000 + $77,000,000] = $236,250,000. Note that depreciation must be added to ANet P&E to arrive at capital expenditures. ANOWC = $434,000,000 - $357,000,000 = $ 77,000,000 c. The large increase in dividends for 2021 can most likely be attributed to a large increase in free cash flow from 2020 to 2021, since FCF represents the amount of cash available for payment to stockholders after the company has made all investments in fixed assets, new products, and working capital necessary to sustain the business
