What is the annual operating cash flow

Answer 1

Answer:

$45,340

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the annual operating cash flow

Sale $260,300

Less: Operating Cost $143,200

Contribution $117,100

($260,300-$143,200)

Less: Fixed Cost $60,700

Less: Depreciation as per table given below $24,800

Profit before tax $31,600

($117,100-$60,700-$24,800)

Tax $11,060

($34%$31,600)

Profit After Tax $20,540

($31,600-$11,060)

Add Depreciation $24,800

Cash Profit After tax $45,340

($20,540+$24,800)

Therefore the annual operating cash flow is $45,340
