Explanation / Answer

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes Ebit = Earnings before interest and taxes. Now for your assignment.. $2,379,000 -- Sales $1,428,000 -- Cost of goods sold(COGS) $435,300-A&S expenses $490,400 -- Depreciation $215,300 -- Interest expense Taxes=25% So, by the formula: Sales - COGS - A&S expenses = EBIT + Depreciation = $515,700 Taxes = 25% * $515,700 = $128,925 Operating cash flow = $386,775
