Answer:
a. - $43,000
b. $10,000
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The computation of the net income is shown below:
= Sales - cost of goods sold - administrative and selling expenses - depreciation expenses - interest expense - income tax expense
= $940,000 - $680,000 - $85,000 - $165,000 - $53,000 - 0
= - $43,000
The income tax expense should be zero as the amount comes in negative
(b) The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:
= EBIT + Depreciation
where,
EBIT = Sales - cost of goods sold - administrative and selling expenses - depreciation expenses
= $940,000 - $680,000 - $85,000 - $165,000
= $10,000 + $165,000
= $175,000
