Suppose you also know that the firm’s net capital spending for 2020 was $1,320,000, and that the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $59,000. What was the firm’s 2020 operating cash flow, or OCF?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,271,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What was the firm’s 2020 operating cash flow, or OCF

First step is to calculate the Cash flow from assets using this formula

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

Let plug in the formula

Cash flow from assets=–$60,000 + $70,000

Cash flow from assets = $10,000

Now let calculate the operating cash flow using this formula

Operating cash flow=Cash flow from assets-Reduction in Net working capital investment+Net capital spending

Let plug in the formula

Operating cash flow=$10,000-$59,000+$1,320,000

Operating cash flow=$1,271,000

Therefore the firm’s 2020 operating cash flow, or OCF will be $1,271,000
