Explanation / Answer
Answer a.
EBIT = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Depreciation Expense
EBIT = $33,106 - $23,624 - $5,877
EBIT = $3,605
EBT = EBIT - Interest Expense
EBT = $3,605 - $2,650
EBT = $955
Taxes = EBT * tax rate
Taxes = $955 * 22%
Taxes = $210.10
Net Income = EBT - Taxes
Net Income = $955 - $210.10
Net Income = $744.90
Answer b.
Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
Operating Cash Flow = $3,605 + $5,877 - $210.10
Operating Cash Flow = $9,271.90
Answer c.
Change in NWC = Ending NWC - Beginning NWC
Change in NWC = (Ending Current Assets - Ending Current Liabilities) - (Beginning Current Assets - Beginning Current Liabilities)
Change in NWC = ($8,612 - $4,575) - ($6,970 - $3,920)
Change in NWC = $987
Net Capital Spending = Ending Fixed Assets + Depreciation - Beginning Fixed Assets
Net Capital Spending = $24,394 + $5,877 - $19,820
Net Capital Spending = $10,451
Cash Flow from Assets = Operating Cash Flow - Change in NWC - Net Capital Spending
Cash Flow from Assets = $9,271.90 - $987 - $10,451
Cash Flow from Assets = -$2,166.10
Answer d-1.
Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest Expense - Net New Debt
Cash Flow to Creditors = $2,650 - $0
Cash Flow to Creditors = $2,650
Answer d-2.
Cash Flow to Stockholders = Cash Flow from Assets - Cash Flow to Creditors
Cash Flow to Stockholders = -$2,166.10 - $2,650
Cash Flow to Stockholders = -$4,816.10
