Mathew Armstrong · Answer 1

Operating cash flow for 2018 is $535,000

Explanation:

Operating cash flow is the cash flow derived from daily operations of the firm.

In calculating it, the below proforma is used:

Net income 0

add:

depreciation 0

Interest expense 370000

reduction in working capital 165000

Cash flow from operations 535000

The changes in long-term debt, common stock and additional paid in capital fall under cash from financing activities.

The net capital spending has to do investing activities and not cash flow from operating activities
