Answer
OCF or Operating Cash Flow = (Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed
Cost - Depriciation)*(1- Tax Rate)+ Depriciation
We need to add back depriciation as it is a non cash item in order
to arrive to our operating Cash Flow.
Please note that interet cost of debt will not be comming under operating cash flow, it will come under Cash Flow form Financing Operations.
Given the following
Revenue = $ 255800
Variable Cost = $ 141200
Fixed Cost = $ 59200
Depriciation = $ 23800
Tax Rate = 40 %
OCF = ($ 255800 - $ 141200 - $ 59200 - $ 23800) (1 - 0.40) +$ 23800
OCF = $ 42760
