Answer 1

(a)-Operating Cash Flow

Operating Cash Flow = Sales - Production Cost – Other Expenses – Income Tax Expenses

= $159,000 - $80,700 - $4,000 - $20,900

= $53,400

(b)-Cash Flow to Creditors

Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest Expenses – Redemption of long term debt

= $7,200 – (-$6,300)

= $7,200 + $6,300

= $13,500

(c)-Cash flow to stockholders

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividend Paid - Equity shares issued

= $7,800 - $3,800

= $4,000

(d)-Addition to net working capital

Cash Flow from Assets

Cash Flow from Assets = Cash flow to creditors + cash flow to stockholders

= $13,500 + $4,000

= $17,500

Net Capital Spending

Net Capital Spending = Increase in FA + Depreciation Expenses

= $9,700 + $20,850

= $30,550

Therefore, the Addition to Net Working Capital = Operating Cash Flow – Net Capital Spending – Cash flow from assets

= $53,400 - $30,550 - $17,500

= $5,350
