Answer:
Project's Operating cash inflow is $16,500
Explanation:
Operating cash flows are cash inflow and outflow generated from to day to day business activities. All the cash flows needed to operate the business smoothly.
Operating Cash flows from indirect method is calculated by adding non cash items in net income and any other working capital adjustment to the cash flows.
Net Income = Sales - Costs - depreciation - Taxes = $56,300 - $31,700 - $3,400 - $5,500 = $15,700
because the depreciation is an non cash expense so, it will be added back to the net income for the calculation of Net operating cash flows. Outlay in Net working capital will reduce the net operating cash flow, so it will be deducted.
Net Operating cash flow = $15,700 + $3,400 - $2,600 = $16,500
