    Operating Cash Flows = $639,000

    Explanation:

    Provided information, we have

    Cash flow from assets = Operating cash flow - Change in Net working capital - Net capital investment

    Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders

    Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense paid - Net increase in long term debt

    = $99,000 - ($1,680,000 - $1,450,000) = $99,000 - $230,000 = - $131,000

    Cash paid to Stockholder's = Net dividend paid to equity - Net increase in equity

    = $155,000 - ($3,050,000 + $160,000 - $2,750,000 - $150,000)

    = $155,000 - ($310,000)

    = - $155,000

    Therefore, cash flow from assets = - $131,000 + ( - $155,000) = - $286,000

    Putting values in the first equation we have,

    - $286,000 = Operating cash flow - ( - $135,000) - $1,060,000

    $1,060,000 - $286,000 = Operating Cash Flow + $135,000

    $774,000 - $135,000 = Operating Cash Flows

    $639,000 = Operating Cash Flows
