The cash flow to creditor means all payment made to creditors in form of interest payment or principal payment.
Cash flow to creditors = Interest paid - Ending long term debt + Beginning long term Debt
where,
Interest Paid- This is the amount paid as interest on the total liabilities during an accounting period.
Ending long term debt- End value of the long term debt in an accounting period.
Beginning long term debt- The beginning value of a long term
debt.
Here,
Ending long term debt= $42,000
Beginning long term debt= $31,600
We have to calculate the interest paid.
EBIT - Interest - taxes = Net income
$27,130 - $Interest - $5,450 = $16,220
$21,680 - Interest = $16,220
Interest = $21,680 - $16,220 = $5,460
Cash flow to creditors = 31,600 + 5,460 - 42,000 = -$ 4,940
