Answer 1

a. -$99,500

b. -$162,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest paid - (Ending long-term debt - Beginning long-term debt)

Cash Flow to Creditors = $95,500 - ($1,610,000 - $1,415,000)

Cash Flow to Creditors = $95,500 - $195,000

Cash Flow to Creditors = -$99,500

b. Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividends paid - [(Ending common stock + Ending additional paid-in surplus) - (Beginning common stock + Beginning additional paid-in surplus)]

Cash Flow to Stockholders = $148,000 - [($153,000 + $2,980,000) - ($143,000 + $2,680,000)]

Cash Flow to Stockholders = $148,000 - [$3,133,000 - $2,823,000] = $148,000 - $310,000

Cash Flow to Stockholders = -$162,000
