NOPAT Calc Question

Simplified Income Statement:

Sales: 1000

Variable Costs: 200 Fixed Costs: 300

Interest Income: 50 Interest Expense: 100

Taxes: 180

Net Income: 270

My question is, when determining operating cash flows using NOPAT (NOPAT+dep-^NWC-Capex), how would you calculate NOPAT.

Would you use: Sales: 1000 -VC: 200

-FC: 300

NOP: 500

-Taxes (500x40%): 200

NOPAT: 300

OR would you use the 180 for taxes from the income statement (which includes interest income and expense)?

Does this make any sense? lol Thanks for any input
