概要

This tutorial will provide you with a firm understanding of how to properly and effectively measure business performance using FCF. We demonstrate how economic profit can be used to make value-creating business decisions, and why it is a superior metric to more traditional business performance measures. We illustrate the differences between economic profit and free cash flow (FCF).
