Accounting operating cash flows take net profits after tax and add in depreciation
and other noncash charges. The net profits after tax figure is obtained after interest
expense is deducted from operating income. Since interest expense is not an
operating account, the financial calculation of operating cash flows excludes the
impact of interest by taking EBIT and backing out taxes. This finance definition is
a more accurate estimate of cash flows associated with the operations of the firm.

a) Sales 400,000
Tot costs before dep 290,000
less: Depreciation 34200
EBIT 75,800
Interest expense 15,000
EBT 60,800
Taxes 24,320
NP 36,480

OCF 79,680

b) Depreciation & other non-cash items serve as tax shield against income, hence
increasing cash flows. Therefore higher depreciation amount, the higher the
tax shield.

Keith Corporation Income Statement data (2011)


Depreciation expense R
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
Interest expense
Net profit after taxes
Tax rate

NOPAT = EBIT*(1-t)
OCF = NOPAT+depreciation NFAI = net fixed asset investment
FCF = OCF - NFAI - NCAI NCAI = net current asset investment
NFAI = Δ net fixed assets + depreciation
NCAI = Δ current assets - Δ (accounts payable + accrual)

a) NOPAT R 1,620

b) OCF R 3,220

c) NFAI 1,300
Δ current assets 1,400
Δ accounts payable 100
Δ accruals -100
NCAI 1,400
FCF R 520

d) The firm has positive cash flows from operating activities


Depreciation above same size as NOPAT therefore OCF is about twice NOPAT
FCF meaningful because shows that cash flows from operations sufficient to
both operating expenses plus net fixed investments and investments in
current assets.
