Explanation: The values from the question are scattered, but here is how they should appear
Case A Case B Case C
Net income $310,000 15,000 $420,000
Depreciation expense 40,000 150,000 80,000
Accounts receivable increase
(decrease 100,000 (200,000) (20,000)
Inventory increase (decrease) (50,000) 35,000 50,000
Accounts payable increase (50,000) 120,000 70,000
Accrued liabilities increase
(decrease) 60,000 (220,000) (40,000)
To calculate the operating activities section of cash flows for each of the given cases,
we use the Indirect method formula
Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses – Increase in Working Capital
Net cash flow from operating actvities =Net Income +/- Changes in Assets & Liabilities + Non-Cash Expenses
Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Depreciation + Stock Based Compensation + Deferred Tax + Other Non Cash Items – Increase in Accounts Receivable – Increase in Inventory + Increase in Accounts Payable + Increase in Accrued Expenses + Increase in Deferred Revenue
Following the formulae above, we can determine what expense should be added or subtracted to give the operating activities of cash flow below as
Case A Case B Case C
Net Income $310,000 15,000 $420,000
Net Income Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to net Cash provided by operating activities
Depreciation 40,000 150,000 80,000
Changes in Assets and Liabilities
Accounts Receivable - 100,000 200,000 20,000
Inventory 50,000 -35,000 - 50,000
Accounts Payable -50,000 120,000 70,000
Accrued Liabilities 60,000 - 220,000 -40,000
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
$310,000 $230,000 $500,000
