CFO
Kayla Flores believes that dealers will not adopt the new online system unless Northern
Gas provides financial assistance to help them purchase or upgrade their computer network.
Flores estimates this one-time cost at $745,000.
Northern Gas will also have to invest $165,000
in upgrading its own computer hardware. The cost of the software and the consulting fee for installing the system will be $225,000.
The online system will enable Northern
Gas to eliminate 25 clerical positions.
Flores estimates that the benefits of the new system's lower labor costs will have saved the company $1,420,000.

a cash flow statement shows exactly how much money a company has received and how much it has spent, traditionally over a period of one month. it captures the current operating results and changes on the balance sheet, such as increases or decreases in accounts receivable or accounts payable, and does not include noncash accounting items such as depreciation and amortization. the cash flow generally comes from revenue received as a result of business activity, but it may be augmented by funds available as a result of credit. a cash flow statement is used to determine the short-term viability and liquidity of a company, specifically how well it is positioned to pay its bills and vendors.
