c. What is the 2018 cash flow to stockholders? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
d. If net fixed assets increased by $46,000 during the year, what was the addition to NWC? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer and Explanation:

a. The cash flow to stockholders is

EBIDT - Taxes = Sales - Costs- Other expenses - Taxes

$305,000 - $176,000 - $8,900 - $23,345

= $96,755

b. Cash flow to creditors is

= Interest paid - Net new borrowing

= $12,900 - (-$4,900)

= $17,800

c. Cash flow to stockholders = Dividend paid - Net new equity raised

= $19,500 - $6,400

= $13,100

d. The addition to NWC is

Cash flow from assets = Operating cash flow - Change in NWC - Net capital spending

As we know that

Cash flow from assets is

= Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders

= $17,800 + $13,100 = $30,900

Operating cash flow = $96,755

Net Capital Spending = Dep + increase in Fixed assets

= $18,700 + $46,000

= $64,700

Now placing these values to the above formula

$30,900 = $96,755 - Change in NWC - $64,700

Change in NWC is

= $96,755 - $64,700 - $30,900

= $1,155

We simply applied the above formulas
