a. 657,983
b. 761,307
c. 671,128
d. 713,180

based on the spreadsheet below, what is the net cash flow? a 2-column spreadsheet showing cash inflows and cash outflows. total cash inflow is 2,040 dollars and total cash outflow is 1,750 dollars.
a. $290
b. $390
c. $1,750
d. $2,040

Answer 1

The officers would have to be b. 761,307

The net cash flow is a. $290

How to get the officers

solve for the percentage increase

(61000 - 52000 )/ 52000 * 100

= 0.1730769231

Minimum increase = 0.1730769231

Calculate the number of police officers needed in 2016:

Increase = (New value - Old value) / Old value

0.1730769231 = (New value - 648,982) / 648,982

648,982 * 0.1730769231 = (New value - 648,982)

112323.80770728 + 648982 = new value

761,307 = new value

Hence the officers would have to be b. 761,307

2. Net cash flow = 2,040 - 1,750

= a. $290

The net cash flow is a. $290
