Answer:
The steps to calculate after tax operating cash flows:
1. Determine before tax cash flows (PBT)
2. Subtract the tax laibility from PBT
3. The result will be the cash flows after tax (PAT/ Net
Income)
4. Then, we will add back non-cash expenses i.e. depreciation and
amortization
5. Then, increase in working capital is deducted from the above
resultant figure
(For calculating increase in working capital, we will separatly
calculate increase in current assets and increase in current
liabilities and the deduct both the figures to derive increase in
working capital)
6. The resultant figure will be the operating cash flow
Therefore, the formula comes down to:
Operating cash flow = Net Income + Non Cash expenses -
Increase in Working Capital
