Question

Operating Cash Flow

The financial staff of Cairn Communications has identified the following information for the first year of the roll-out of its new proposed service:

The company faces a 30% tax rate. What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? Write out your answer completely. For example, 2 million should be entered as 2,000,000.

THE ANSWER IS NOT 10,200,000. I HAVE SEEN VERY FEW CORRECT ANSWERS FOR THIS TYPE OF QUESTION. IF YOU COME UP WITH 10,200,000 IT IS WRONG.
