Answer 1

To calculate Golden Corp.'s cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method, begin with net income, add back non-cash expenses like depreciation, and adjust for changes in working capital components and tax liabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method for Golden Corp., we start with the net income and adjust for any non-cash expenses, changes in working capital, and provisions for items such as depreciation. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Start with Net Income: $166,400.
2. Add back Depreciation Expense: $54,000.
3. Adjust for Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities:
4. Decrease in Accounts Receivable: Sales ($1,887,000) - Ending AR ($111,500) + Beginning AR ($90,000) = $1,865,500.
5. Increase in Inventory: COGS ($1,105,000) - Ending Inventory ($629,500) + Beginning Inventory ($545,000) = $1,020,500.
6. Increase in Accounts Payable: Purchases - Ending AP ($125,000) + Beginning AP ($90,000) = Difference.
7. Other Expenses: $513,000.
8. Adjust for Changes in Income Taxes Payable: Ending Income Taxes Payable ($47,000) - Beginning Income Taxes Payable ($34,600) = $12,400.

The resulting cash flows from operating activities are then calculated by combining these adjustments with the net income.
