What was the firm’s 2018 operating cash flow, or OCF? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)

Answer 1

$1,290,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cash flow to creditors = -$85,000

Cash flow to stockholders = $170,000

Firm’s net capital spending for 2018 = $1,250,000

Firm reduced its net working capital investment by $45,000

Cash Flow from Assets:

= Cash Flow to Creditor + Cash Flow to Stockholders

= -$85,000 + $170,000

= $85,000

Cash Flow from Assets = OCF - Net Capital Spending - Change in Net Working Capital

$85,000 = OCF - $1,250,000 - (-$45,000)

OCF = $85,000 + $1,250,000 - $45,000

= $1,290,000
