Answer:
OCF = $206,190
Depreciation tax shield = $34,620
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation tax shield is shown below:
= Depreciation × tax rate
= $115,400 × 30%
= $34,620
And the operating cash flow is
= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense
where,
EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense
= $687,900 - $442,800 - $115,400
= $129,700
And, the income tax expense is
= (Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense) × tax rate
= ($687,900 - $442,800 - $115,400) × 30%
= $129,700 × 30%
= $38,910
So, the OCF is
= $129,700 + $115,400 - $38,910
= $206,190
