Answer 1

Answer:

Net income -$268,000

Operating Cash Flow $511,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the Net income

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales $2,560,000

Cost of goods sold $1,364,000

Other expenses $685,000

Depreciation $477,000

EBIT $34,000

Interest $302,000

Taxable income -$ 268,000

($34,000-$302,000)

Taxes (24%) 0

Net income -$268,000

CALCULATION FOR EBIT

Sales $2,560,000

LESS:Cost of goods sold ($1,364,000)

Other expenses ($685,000)

Depreciation ($477,000)

EBIT $34,000

Based on the information given we were told that we should ignore any tax loss which was why Taxes (24%) was $0

The taxes are zero since we are ignoring any carryback or carryforward provisions.

Therefore NET INCOME is -$268,000

B. Calculation for operating cash flow

Using this formula

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Let plug in the formula

Operating Cash Flow= $34,000 + $477,000 - 0

Operating Cash Flow = $511,000

Therefore Operating Cash Flow is $511,000
