Dear Mr. Kappeler:

I have good news and bad news about the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The good news is that net income of $100,000 is close to what we predicted in the strategic plan last year, indicating strong performance this year. The bad news is that the cash balance is seriously low. Enclosed is the Statement of Cash Flows, which best illustrates how both of these situations occurred simultaneously â¦

<u>Workings</u>

1)

The disparity between the net income and the cash floe are as a result loss of cash to operating activities as a result of  cash tied down to increase in receivable and inventory and also to an increase in payable leading to an overall cash generated by operating activities of 0

Moreover , a larger portion (300,000) of the opening cash balance(400,000) for the year was used in acquiring land and equipment and also 100,000 used in the redemption of bond. , even though this reduced the interest expense and improve equity , yet it was a big blow to the cash flow.

2)

The importance of cash flow is that it helps to analyse and monitor cash movement and cash available for the purpose of business activities towards liquidity and long term solvency.

3)

Renewable sources of cash flow are generated from the company's operating activities as the cash used for the financing and operating activities are generated from this medium.

4)

Suggestion to improve cash flow for Kappler are

  1. Reduce the level of inventory held
  2. Negotiate with the account payable for a longer trade payable payment period
  3. Reduce the trade receivable collection period
  4. Payment of dividends and redemption of bonds van be suspended till alter date when adequate cash is available
  5. it can also negotiate for external sources of financing

Milford Company sells a motor that carries a three-month unconditional warranty against product failure. Based on a reliable sta
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Number of units sold = 76000

Percentage repair= 2%

Estimated defective units = Percentage repair × Units sold = 2% × 76000 = 1520

Actual defective units = 490 + 350 + 210 = 1050

Unclaimed warranty = Estimated defective units - Actual defective units = 1520 - 1050 = 470

Repair cost = $50

Warranty expense = 470 × $50 = $23500

The journal entry will then be:

31 December:

Debit: Product warranty expense = $23500

Credit: Estimated liability for product warranty = $23500

Complete Question:

Economic advances in many countries have led to the

A) emergence of increasingly prosperous middle and working classes.

B) decline of middle and working classes.

C) emergence of closed and self-contained societies. D) rise of totalitarian reforms.

E) decline of property rights.

Answer:

Economic advances in many countries have led to the emergence of increasingly prosperous middle and working classes.

Explanation:

Economic advancements is improving your country's infrastructure. These improvements can either be emotional or government-oriented (such as road maintenance or railway services) (such as legislative or court system).

The growth of the United States is the best in decades. If you somehow look at overall middle-income family's financial lifetimes — his income expense, assets and interest payments— as well as how developments since Election Day 2016 were supposed to impact them, you will get a more mixed picture. It is also true that inflation is high and the level of unemployment is at a generational pace.
