In order to sustain its operations and thus generate sales and cash flows in the future, the firm was required to make $1,250 of capital expenditures on new fixed assets and to invest $300 in net operating working capital.

Operating costs excluding depr'n $5,750.00

Depreciation $700.00

Operating income (EBIT) $2,800.00

Interest charges $160.00

Taxable income (EBT) & $2,640.00
