A five-year project is expected to generate annual revenues of $159,000, variable costs of $72,500, and fixed costs of $15,000. The annual depreciation is $19,500 and the tax rate is 21 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow

Based on the information given the annual operating cash flow is $60,580.

Using this formula

Operating cash flow =(Sales revenue - Variables costs - Fixed costs - Depreciation)(1 - tax rate) + Depreciation

Let plug in the formula

Operating cash flow =($159,000 -$72,500 - $15,000 - $19,500)(1 - 0.21) + $19,500

Operating cash flow =$52,000(.79)+$19,500

Operating cash flow =$41,080 +$19,500

Operating cash flow = $60,580

Inconclusion the annual operating cash flow is $60,580.
