The amount of the operating cash flow using the top-down approach is $2,200.
Explanation:
Given:
Sales of production= $6,000
Increase in cash expenses= $2,500
Increase in tax= $1,300
Additional depreciation expense= $1,000
Initial cash outlay= $2,000
Operating cash flow= Sales of production- Increase in cash expenses- Increase in tax
OCF = 6,000-2,500-1,300
= $2,200
So the amount of the operating cash flow using the top-down approach is $2,200.
