(do not round intermediate calculations.) b. what is the operating cash flow for 2018? (do not round intermediate calculations.) c. what is the cash flow from assets for 2018? (do not round intermediate calculations. a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.) d-1. if no new debt was issued during the year, what is the cash flow to creditors? (do not round intermediate calculations.) d-2. if no new debt was issued during the year, what is the cash flow to stockholders? (do not round intermediate calculations. a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)

a. $838.28

b.  $9,425.28

c.  - $2042.72

d-1  $2,670

d-2 - $4,712.72

Explanation:

a. The computation of the net income is shown below:

= Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - interest expense - income tax expense  

= $33,510 - $23,820 - $5,917 - $2,670 - 264.72

= $838.28

The income tax expense  

= ( $33,510 - $23,820 - $5,917 - $2,670 ) × 24%  

= $264.72

b. The operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,  

EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense  

= $33,510 - $23,820 - $5,917

= $3,773

And all other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $3773 + $5,917 - $264.72

= $9,425.28

c. Computation of the cash flow from assets for 2019 is shown below:

= Operating cash flow - net capital spending - changes in working capital

where, net capital capital = ending fixed assets - beginning fixed assets + depreciation  

= $24,430 - $19,860 + $5,917

= $10,487

Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)

= ($8,636 - $4,601) - ($6,998 - $3,944)

= $4,035 - $3,054

= $981

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $9,425.28  - $10,487 - $981

= - $2042.72

d.1 The computation of the cash flow to creditors is shown below:

= Interest expense - ending balance of long term debt + beginning balance of long term debt  

= $2,670 - 0 + 0

= $2,670

d.2 The computation of the cash flow to stockholder is shown below:

= Cash flow from asset - cash flow to creditors

=  - $2042.72 - $2,670

= - $4,712.72
