Sagot :

The firm's 2021 operating cash flow, or OCF is -$886,500

How do we determine the operating cash flow?

The operating cash flow can be determined from the cash flows from assets formula where cash flow from assets is the operating cash flow minus net capital spending and net change in working capital

cash flow from assets=operating cash flow-net capital spending+ net increase in working capital

cash flow from assets = cash flow to creditors + cash flow to stockholders

cash flow to creditors = interest expense - net new long-term debt

cash flow to creditors=$97,500-($1,650,000-$1,435,000)

cash flow to creditors=$97,500-$215,000

cash flow to creditors=-$117,500

cash flow to stockholders = dividends - net new equity

cash flow to stockholders=$152,000-($157,000+$3,020,000-$147,000-$2,720,000)

cash flow to stockholders=-$158,000

cash flow from assets =-$117,500-$158,000

cash flow from assets =-$275,500

operating cash flow=unknown(assume it is x)

net capital spending=$1,030,000

net increase in working capital=$132,000

-$275,500=x-$1,030,000-$132,000

x=-$275,500+$1,030,000+$132,000

x=OCF=$886,500
