Question

New England Co. had net cash provided by operating activities of $351,000; net cash used by investing activities of $420,000; and cash provided by financing activities of $250,000. New England's cash balance was $27,000 on January 1. During the year, there was a sale of land that resulted in a gain of $25,000, and proceeds of $40,000 were received from the sale. What was New England's cash balance at the end of the year?

Answer 1

Answer:

New England's cash balance at the end of the year is $208,000

Explanation:

The computation of the ending cash balance is shown below:

Ending cash balance = Net cash provided by operating activities + net cash used by investing activities + cash provided by financing activities + beginning cash balance

= $351,000 - $420,000 + $250,000 + $27,000

= $208,000

We assume the investing activity have made a purchase of fixed assets that's why we deduct it plus it show that the amount is used and the sale amount of land is already included in the investing activity so we do not consider it
