Answer 1

$23,052

Explanation:

The computation of operating cash flow is shown below:-

Before that we have to determine the net income which is

Income statement

Sales $53,000

Cost ($24,200)

Depreciation ($2,550)

EBIT $26,250

Interest expense ($2,300)

Earnings before tax $23,950

Tax (5,748)

(24% × $23,950)

Net income $18,202

Now,

Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Tax

= $26,250 + 2,550 - $5,748

= $23,052
