Explanation / Answer

Cash Flow from Assets:

= Cash Flow to Creditor + Cash Flow to Stockholders
= -$85,000 + $170,000
= $85,000

Cash Flow from Assets = OCF - Net Capital Spending - Change in Net Working Capital
$85,000 = OCF - $1,250,000 - (-$45,000)
OCF = $1,290,000

Hence, operating cash flow is $1,290,000
