Answer 1

a $1,091.22

b $9,798.22

c - $1,709.78

d-1 $2,710

d-2 - $4,419.78

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The computation of the net income is shown below:

= Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - interest expense - income tax expense

= $34,318 - $24,212 - $5,997 - $2,710 - $307.78

= $1,091.22

The income tax expense

= ($34,318 - $24,212 - $5,997 - $2,710) × 22%

= $307.78

b. The operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,

EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense

= $34,318 - $24,212 - $5,997

= $4,109

And all other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $4,109 + $5,997 - $307.78

= $9,798.22

c. Computation of the cash flow from assets for 2019 is shown below:

= Operating cash flow - net capital spending - changes in working capital

where, net capital capital = ending fixed assets - beginning fixed assets + depreciation

= $24,502 - $19,940 + $5,997

= $10,559

Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)

= ($8,684 - $4,673 ) - ($7,054 - $3,992)

= $4,011 - $3,062

= $949

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $9,798.22 - $ $10,559 - $949

= - $1,709.78

d.1 The computation of the cash flow to creditors is shown below:

= Interest expense - ending balance of long term debt + beginning balance of long term debt

= $2,710 - 0 + 0

= $2,710

d.2 The computation of the cash flow to stockholder is shown below:

= Cash flow from asset - cash flow to creditors

= - $1,709.78 - $2,710

= - $4,419.78
