I just want to say thank you for helping me, and for explaining it to me as well. I over think things. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for the accept.

I just noticed the income statement looks incorrect. Please double check the net sales amount as this does not add up:

Net sales 1,195,000 ???
- Operating expenses $1,708,000 (total)
= Operating income $242,000

If it should be $1,950,000 let me know and I will update my answer file.

Customer replied 374 days and 13 hours ago.

Net sales is 1,95,000.
This is what I have:
Cash flows from op. activities:
Cash collections 1,960,000
pymts to suppliers 1,217,000
pymts for op. exp 515,000
pymts for income taxes 79,000 1,811,000
-------------------------------------------
Net cash used by op. activities 149,000

My only problem is that I should be getting 147,000. Thats the number I got with the indirect method. Any help?

Customer replied 374 days and 13 hours ago.

I don't know if this will help but this is what I have for the indirect method:

Cash flows from operating activities
Net income 141,000
Adjustments to reconcile NI to net
cash provided by op. activities:
Depr. exp. 53,000
Tax exp. deferred 11,000
Patent Amtz 4,000
Loss on sale of equip. 5,000
Increase in A/P 51,000
Decrease in A/R 10,000
Increase in Inventory (118,000)
Increase in Accrued exp (10,000) 6,000
--------------------------------------------------------
Net cash provided by op activities 147,000

Cash flows from investing activities
Sold equip 19,000
Purchased equip (63,000)
Investment in hall (13,000)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Net cash flows provided, used, by investing activities (57,000)

Cash flows from financing activities:
Issued C/S 23,000
Treasury Stock 25,000
Paid dividends (43,000)
------------------------------------------------------------
Net cash flows provided, used, by financing activities 5,000

Net increase in cash 95,000
Cash, Jan. 1, 1987 180,000
Cash, Dec. 31, 1987 275,000

Hi,

OK, I think I tracked down the problems.

I left off the interest expense on my direct method. This reduces the cash flow from op activities to $134k.

Please click here for corrected solution.

On your indirect method, you need to add "
Equity in net income of Hall (13,000)"

This will reduce your indirect method result to to $134k which matches the direct method.

Whew, I must say that was a good one!

I have to agree, it was haunting me! I cannot say thank you enough. Also, thank you for explaining it as well. You are an incredible help!

I would like to leave another tip but cannot figure out how to.

Thanks for the first bonus. That's ok, I don't think you can add another one. Just add it to the next question you ask if you want. :)

Will do, Thanks
