In addition, you're told that the firm issued $4,500 in new equity during 2016 and redeemed $7,700 in outstanding long-term debt. a. What is the 2016 operating cash flow

Answer 1

The 2016 operating cash flow is $56,905

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:

Operating cash flow = Sales - costs - other expenses - depreciation expenses - taxes + depreciation expense

= $162,500 - $80,000 - $3,300 - $9,000 - $22,295 + $9,000

= $56,905

The interest expense should not be considered in the computation part. Hence, ignored it
