Free cash flow = $17,995,000

Explanation:

Given:

Cash provided by operating activities = $155,040,000

Net cash used in investing activities = $207,125,000 (including cash spent for plant assets of $132,415,000),

Net cash used in financing activities = $33,300,000

Dividends = $4,630,000

To find the free cash flow, we use:

Cash provided by operating activities - capital expenditures (cash spent for plant assets) - dividends.

Free cash flow = $155,040,000 - $132,415,000 - $4,630,000

= $17,995,000
