The firm's 2018 operating cash flow, or OCF is $1466000.

Explanation:

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

= $15,000 + $70,000

= $85,000

Cash flow from assets = Operating Cash Flow - Change in Net Working Capital - Net capital spending

$85,000 = Operating Cash Flow - (-$89,000) - $1,470,000

Operating Cash Flow = $85,000 - $89,000 + $1,470,000

= $1466000

Therefore, The firm's 2018 operating cash flow, or OCF is $1466000.
