Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Organizations empty all temporary accounts at the end of the year and transfer the balance to retained earnings. Permanent accounts on the contrary, are not closed at the end of the year. They are carried forward to the next year.

As such, companies need to close accounting books at the end of the year as these temporary accounts are closed. Some temporary accounts are revenue and expenses.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

E. $63,401

Explanation:

gain on disposal = salvage value of plant - book value on date of sale

                            = $5,790 - $4,820

                            = $970

tax on disposal = $970*35%

                          = $339.50

after tax salvage value = $5,790 - $339.50

                                       = $5,450.50

total cash flow in 4 years

= annual operating cash flow + net working capital + after tax salvage value

= $53,500 + $4,450 + $5,450.50

= $63,401

Therefore, The Year 4 cash flow is $63,401.
