after tax operating cash flow

given:

sales, cash operating expense, depreciation, operating income, interest expense, tax expense

to calculate operating cash flow why do we have to take sales - cash operating expense - depreciation. Then calc tax and then add back depreciation?

Why dont we just take sales - cash operating expense - income tax? Why do we need to involve depreciation if we’re just doing a straight direct cash calculation? cash in - cash out = end cash

How are you going to calculate income taxes?

D’accord.
