Answer:

$58100

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in an asset other than cash is an outflow of cash while an increase in liabilities is an inflow of cash. A decrease in an asset other than cash is an inflow of cash while an decrease in liabilities is an outflow of cash.

Prepaid insurance = 3,550 - 6,700

Accounts payable = 28,350 - 26,100

postnew [5]

Answer: $27.47

Explanation:

Given: Growth rate =  4.70% per year = 0.0470 per year

Dividend of next year = $2.50

Expected rate of return on Stock =  13.80% =0.1380

Current price = (Dividend of next year ) ÷ (Expected rate - Growth rate)
