Here are the Net Income (NI) and Cash Flow From Assets (CFFA) equations:
###NI=(Rev-COGS-FC-Depr-IntExp).(1-t_c)###
###CFFA=NI+Depr-CapEx - \varDelta NWC+IntExp###

Select one of the following answers. Note that D is the value of debt which is constant through time, and ##r_D## is the cost of debt.
Question 119 market efficiency, fundamental analysis, joint hypothesis problem
