Operating cash flow

Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes

= $4,922.00 + $3,512.00 - $919.38

= $7,514.62

Cash flow to creditors

Cash flow to creditors = Interest expenses – Net new borrowings

= $544.00 - $0.00

= $544.00

Cash flow to stockholders

Net new equity = Equity at the end – Equity at the beginning – Retained earnings

= [$23,077 + 4,447 – 3,077] – [$20,046 + 3,029 – 3,776] - $2,609.62

= $24,447.00 - $ 19,299.00 - $2,609.62

= $2,538.38

Therefore, the Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid – Net new equity

= $849.00 - $2,538.38

= -$1,689.38 (Negative)

Cash flow from assets

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

= $544.00 - $1,689.38

= -$1,145.38 (Negative)
