Interest Payable & FCFF

Hey all,

In addition to my previous post - I have a confusing follow up question.

When calculating FCFF using the formula: EBIT(1-t) + Depreciation + Change in WC - CapEx

When we are calculating the change in WC, do we take the change in interest payable? I think not because:

  • If Interest Payable increased, we are already including it when we subtract interest in the formula

  • If Interest Payable decreased, well i'm not sure.

Please assist me in clearing my confusion.
