Question

Suppose Torche Corporation has the following results related to cash flows for 2020: Net Income of $10,000,000 Increase in Accounts Payable of $800,000 Increase in Accounts Receivable of $600,000 Decrease in Inventory of $100,000 Assuming no other cash flow adjustments than those listed above, create a statement of cash flows with amounts in thousands. What is the Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities?

Answer 1

9,700,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially... a lot. I would recommend learning about debits and credits. Short explanation is credits are negative and debits are positive. So an increase to a debit is adding to the net value, just as a decrease to a credit adds net value.

We start with 10,000,000.

We subtract 800,000 from this as we are increasing AP, a credit.

We are now at 9,200,000

We then add 600,000 from AR, a debit that is increasing.

We are at 9,800,000.

Finally, we subtract 100,000 because we are decreasing Inventory, a debit.

Our final value is 9,700,000
