Round answer to two decimal places.
Answer
There might be two possibilities since it's not specified in the question that whether the adjustment for current liabilities has been done or not.
1. Assuming adjustment for current liabilities has not been done.
Net cash flow from operating activities
= 3000000+ increase in current liabilities
= 3000000+120000
= 3120000
Operating cash flow to capital expenditure ratio
= 3120000/1530000
=2.04
2. Assuming that current liabilities adjustment has been made.
Operation cash flow to capital expenditure ratio
= 3000000/1530000
= 1.96
