$1,402,000

Explanation:

To find operating cash flow we need to find cashflow from assets first. we need to go through some calculations in order to find cash flow from assets

Cash Flow to Creditors  = Interest Expenses Paid – [Long term debt at the end – Long term Debt at the Beginning]

Cash Flow to Creditors  = $175,000 – [$5,650,000 - $5,400,000]

Cash Flow to Creditors  = $175,000 - $250,000

Cash Flow to Creditors  = -$75,000

Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividend Paid – Net New Equity

Cash Flow to Stockholders= Dividend Paid – [(Common stock at the end + Additional paid-in surplus account at the end) - (Common stock at the beginning + Additional paid-in surplus account at the beginning)

Cash Flow to Stockholders = $400,000 – [($570,000 + $2,500,000) – ($530,000 + $2,300,000)]

Cash Flow to Stockholders = $400,000 – [$3,070,000 - $2,830,000]

Cash Flow to Stockholders = $400,000 - $240,000

Cash Flow to Stockholders = $160,000

Cash Flow from assets

Cash Flow from assets = Cash Flow to Creditors + Cash Flow to Stockholders

Cash Flow from assets = -$75,000 + $160,000

Cash Flow from assets = $85,000

Operating Cash Flow  

We know,

Cash flow from assets = Operating Cash flows – Change in Net Working capital – Net Capital Spending

$85,000 = Operating cash flow – (-$73,000) - $1,390,000

Operating cash flow = $85,000 - $73,000 - $1,390,000

Operating cash flow = $1,402,000

yes the correct answer was

b.the increased supply will create a surplus.
