    The company's operating cash flow is $100,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:

    = EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

    where,

    EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - administrative and selling expenses

    = $740,000 - $550,000 - $95,000 - $90,000

    = $5,000

    The income tax expense equals to

    = (Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - administrative and selling expenses - interest rate) * tax rate

    = ($740,000 - $550,000 - $95,000 - $90,000 - $94,000) * 35%

    The amount comes in negative so we cannot compute the tax expense as corporation is suffering from the net loss

    And all other items would remain same

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $5,000 + $95,000 - $0

    = $100,000
