    The free cash flow that Wells generated is $2050.

    Explanation:

    EBIT = sales - operating costs - depreciation

    = $8,250 - $4,500 - $950

    = $2,800

    free cash flow

    = EBIT (1 - t) + depreciation - investment in fixed assets - investment in NOWC

    = $2100 + $950 - $750 - $250

    = $2050

    Therefore, The free cash flow that Wells generated is $2050.
