Answer 1

Answer: (1) $61,495

(2) $17,200

(3) $5,400

Explanation:

Given that,

sales = $275,000

costs = $188,000

other expenses = $7,900

depreciation expense = $15,200

interest expense = $13,600

taxes = $17,605

dividends = $10,500

new equity issued = $5,100

Net new long-term debt = $3,600

EBIT = sales - depreciation expense - costs - other expenses

        = $275,000 - $15,200 - $188,000 - $7,900

        = $63,900

EBT =  EBIT - Interest

       = $63,900 - $13,600

       = $50,300

EAT = EBT - Taxes

       = $50,300 - $17,605

       = $32,695

Retained earnings = EAT - Dividends

                               = $32,695 - $10,500

                               = $22,195

(1) operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + depreciation expense

                                      = $63,900 - $17,605 + $15,200

                                      = $61,495

(2) cash flow to creditors = Interest - Net new long-term debt

                                          = $13,600 - (-$3,600)

                                          = $17,200

(3) cash flow to stock holders = Dividend - net new equity

                                                 = $10,500 - $5,100

                                                 = $5,400
