Solution

Prepare the cash flow statement using indirect method as follows:

Statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the indirect method.

B Corporation

Statement of Cash Flows  For the Year Ended December 31, 2017

Cash flows from operating activities:

Net loss=-12000

Adjustments to reconcile net loss with cash flows from operating activities:

Depreciation ($20,000 + $10,000 - $13,000) = 17000

Loss on sale of land = 2000

Increase in accounts receivable=-20000

Increase in prepaid expenses=-5000

Increase in accounts payable=6000

Net cash used in operating activities=-12000

Cash flows from investing activities:

Sale of land ($40,000 - $18,000 - $2,000) =20000

Sale of equipment=5000

Net cash generated by investing activities=25000

Cash flows from financing activities:

Retirement of bonds=-12000  

Proceeds from issuance of bonds=20000  

Dividends paid=-15000

Net cash used by financing activities=-7000

Net increase in cash=6000

Add: Beginning cash balance=31000

Ending cash balance=37000

Now:

(1) The Calculation of Depreciation:

The accumulated Depreciation at end of 2017 = $ (20,000)

Thus,

Accumulated Depreciation at end of 2017 = $ (13,000)

Increase in Accumulated Depreciation during 2017 = 20,000 - 13,000 = $ 7,000

Add: Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold during 2017 = $ 10,000

Total Depreciation expense for 2017 = $ 7,000 + 10,000 = $ 17,000

(2) Calculation of Proceeds from the sale of land:

The land cost sold = $ 40,000 - 18,000 = $ 22,000

The sale of the loss of land  = $ 2,000

Hence,

Proceeds from sale of land = Cost of land sold - Loss on sale of land = $ 22,000 - 2,000 = $ 20,000

(3) Calculation of Issuance of bonds payable during 2017

The Bonds Payable at the end of 2016 = $ 19,000

So,

Bonds Payable at the end of 2017 = $ 27,000

Retirement of bonds during 2017 = $ 12,000

Bonds issued during 2017 = $ 27,000 + 12,000 - 19,000 = $ 20,000

Now,

(a) Calculation of Current cash debt Coverage times:

Current cash debt Coverage times = Net cash provided by operating activities / Average current liabilities

Provision of net cash operating activities = ($12,000)

The current average  liabilities = (Opening current liabilities + Closing current liabilities) / 2

= (12,000 + 6,000) / 2 = $ 9,000

Current cash debt Coverage times = ($12,000) / $ 9,000 = -1.33 times

(b) Calculation of Cash debt coverage times:

Cash debt coverage times = Net cash provided by operating activities / Average total liabilities

Thus,

Net cash provided by operating activities = ($12,000)

Average Total liabilities = (Opening Total liabilities + Closing Total liabilities) / 2

= ($ 25,000 + 39,000) / 2 = $ 32,000

Therefore, the cash debt coverage times = ($12,000) / $32,000 = -0.375 = -0.38 times
