Answer: $21,706.50

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $49,000

costs = $22,600

Depreciation expense = $2,150

Interest expense = $1,900

Tax rate = 21%

EBIT = Sales - costs - Depreciation expense

= $49,000 - $22,600 - $2,150

= $24,250

Profit before tax = EBIT - Interest expense

= $24,250 - $1,900

= $22,350

Net Income = Profit before tax - Tax (21% of Profit before tax)

= $22,350 - $4,693.50

= $17,656.50

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Tax + Depreciation expense

= $24,250 - $4,693.50 + $2,150

= $21,706.50
