Alfredo Yang · Answer 1

The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation for the given data are as follows:

Operating cash flow = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Tax

Where, Tax = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Depreciation - Interest Expense * Rate of Tax

So, Tax = $30,774 - $21,956 - $3,596 - $604 * 23% = $1,062.14

By putting the value in the formula, we get

Operating Cash Flow = $30,774 - $21,956 - $1062.14

= $7,755.86

or = $7,756
