statement of cash flow?
think asked:
Can anyone please explain why we add back Gain on Sale for operating activities in the statement of cash flow?
Also, in my book, it says add amortization of investment to interest income to find out the amount of cash that actually receive from interest?
I don’t get it. Is amortization already include in interest income when we receive semiannually payment from bond? Should it be subtracted from interest income to find out the amount of cash?

I want to buy a business. When I see “Cash Flow”,are lease payments for the building included? Debt service?
Kent asked:
Let’s say Business X costs $3,000,000, with Revenues of 3,500,000 and EBITDA of $500,000. I assume out of this $500K I need to live, pay the debt service, pay taxes, etc. Can someone provide with a rough breakdown as to how much each of these things would be? Let’s say I live on $40K, how much can I pay down the debt each year?
Also, is “Cash Flow” typically an easy way to say EBITDA?

Expected Annual Operating Cash Flow?
dukebball002 asked:
You are reviewing a proposed capital budgeting project that is expected to generate $10 million in sales for the next three years. Operating costs (excluding depreciation) are expected to account for 75% of sales, while the annual depreciation expense associated with the project is expected to be $2 million. Some of the funds required to take on this project were raised with debt which has resulted in the firm paying an additional $2 million per year in interest expense. If the firm’s corporate tax rate is 40%, what is the project’s expected annual operating cash flow?
