Computation table of operating cash flow

Particular                                      Amount  

Amount of sales                          $43,780

Less:

Cost                                             $14,100

Depreciation                                $3,150  

Earning before tax                      $26,530

$23,623

Explanation:

The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:

Sales       $43,780

Less

Cost        -$14,100

Depreciation -$3,150

EBIT $26,530

Less: Interest expense -$2,300

Profit before tax $24,230

- tax at 25% -$6,058

Net income $18,173

Now the operating cash flow is
