a Income Statement   Sales $     2,386,000   Cost of goods sold         1,439,000   Administrative and Selling expenses           436,400   Depreciation           491,400   EBIT             19,200   Interest           216,400   Taxable income          (197,200)   Taxes (30%)                    -     Net income $       (197,200) The taxes are zero since we are ignoring any carryback or carryforward provisions. b The operating cash flow for the year was: OCF = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes OCF = $19,200 + 491,400 – 0 OCF = $510,600 Net income was negative because of the tax deductibility of depreciation and interest expense. However, the actual cash flow from operations was positive because depreciation is a non-cash expense and interest is a financing, not an operating, expense.
