D.
To Identify: The company which appears to require more cash to purchase property, plant, and equipment and to explain its impact on free cash flow.
D.

Answer to Problem 3ADM
By using the computation in (C), it is clear that the company which appears to require more cash to purchase property, plant, and equipment is Company AT, and its impact on free cash flow is more negative.
Explanation of Solution
The cash used to purchase property, plant, and equipment as a percent of the cash flows from operating activities of Company AT for Year 1 is 50% which is much less than that of Company F of 77%. But for Year 2, and Year 3, the cash used to purchase property, plant, and equipment as a percent of the cash flows from operating activities of Company AT are 61%, and 68%, which are greater than those of Company F of 32%, and 34%.
Hence, as the cash used to purchase property, plant, and equipment as a percent of the cash flows from operating activities of Company AT from Year 1 to Year 3 is increasing, the company which appears to require more cash to purchase property, plant, and equipment is Company AT, and its net impact on free cash flow is more negative.

Ratio of free cash flow to revenues
|
29.1% | 36.3% | 7.4% |
Table (6)
Hence, the ratio of free cash flow to revenue for Year 3, Year 2, and Year 1 for Company AT are 7.5%, 10.5%, and 15.3% respectively. And for Company F, they are 29.1%, 36.3%, and 7.4% respectively.
F.
To Interpret: The chart.
F.

Explanation of Solution
The ratio of free cash flow to revenue of Company AT for Year 1 was better when compared to Company F. But in the Year 2, and Year 3, the ratios of free cash flow to revenue of Company F were much greater than Company AT. The cash flows from operating activities of Company F have significantly increased over the years. Due to this, there is an increase in the ratio of free cash flows to revenues. The decline in the ratio of free cash flows to revenues of Company AT is due to the decline in the cash flows from operating activities, and increase in the cash needed to purchase property, plant, and equipment over the three years. The net result of this is that the ratio is declined.
