Operating cash flow is $7,980

Explanation:

EBIT = sales of $19,730 - costs of $9,300 - depreciation expense of $1,970 = $8,460

Tax = (EBIT of $8,460 - interest expense of $1,460) * Tax rate 35%

= $2,450

The operating cash flow (OCF) = EBIT + Depreciation - Tax = $8,460 + $1,970 - $2,450 = $7,980
