Assume a firm generates $2,500 in sales, has a $800 increase in accounts receivable and has a $500 increase in accounts payable
tangare [24]

Answer:

Cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.

Explanation:

The amount of increase in cash flow from operations can be calculated as follows:

Increase in cash flow from operations = Sales - Increase in accounts receivable + Increase in accounts payable …………… (1)

Sales = $2,500

Increase in accounts receivable = $800

Increase in accounts payable = $500

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Increase in cash flow from operations = $2,500 - $800 + $500 = $2,200

Therefore, cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

60,000,000

Explanation:

Dye trucking raised $85 million to buy stock

After the recap Dye's stock price is $8.50

Dye share had 70 million share before the recap

Therefore the number of shares present after the recap can be calculated as follows

= 70,000,000-(85,000,000/8.50)

= 70,000,000-10,000,000

= 60,000,000

Hence the number of shares after the recap is 60,000,000

Esquire Inc. uses the LIFO method to report its inventory. Inventory at January 1, 2021, was $420,000 (21,000 units at $20 each)
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: Profit of $9,000

Explanation:

First find the Cost of goods sold assuming the LIFO was used. 82,000 of the most recent stock will be sold and 4,000 will be taken from the beginning stock to reach 86,000 units.

= (82,000 units * 23) + (4,000 * 20)

= $‭1,966,000‬

LIFO liquidation profit(loss):

= (Sales - Cost of Goods sold) * ( 1 - Tax)

Selling price is assumed to be $23 which is cost of recent inventory.

= [(86,000 * 23) - 1,966,000 ] * (1 - 25%)

= 12,000 * 0.75

= $9,000
