Answer and Explanation:

Revenue $160,000

Rental Costs $30,000

Variable Costs $50,000

Depreciation $10,000

Profit before tax $70,000

Tax (35%) $24,500

Net Income $45,500

Operating cash flow

a) Dollars in minus dollars out

Revenue? rental costs? variable costs? taxes = $160000 - $30000-$50000-$24,500 = $55,500

b) Adjusted accounting profits

Operating cash flow = Net income + depreciation = $45,500 + $10,000 = $55,500

c) Add back depreciation tax shield

Operating cash flow = [ (Revenue? rental costs? variable costs) * (1? 0.35) ] + (depreciation * 0.35) ]

= ($160,000-$30000-$50,000) * 0.65 + $10,000*0.35 = $55,500

Yes, the above approaches result in the same value for cash flow
