The 2008 balance sheet of Maria's Tennis Shop, Inc., showed $2.9 million in long-term debt, $770,000 in the common stock account
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

OCF = -$1,670,000

Explanation:

To calculate this, the following are first calculated:

Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - (Long-term debt in 2009 - Long-term debt in 2008) = $230,000 – (3,500,000 – 2,900,000) = -$370,000

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid – ((Common stock in 2009 + Additional paid-in surplus in 2009) - (Common stock in 2008 + Additional paid-in surplus in 2008)) = $550,000 – (($985,000 + $8,250,000) – ($770,000 + $6,000,000)) = -$1,915,000

Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders = -$370,000 - $1,915,000 = $2,285,000

The the firm's 2009 operating cash flow, or OCF can now be calculated as follows:

Cash flow from assets = OCF - Net working capital investment  - Net capital spending

-$2,285,000 = OCF - (-$165,000) - $780,000

-$2,285,000 = OCF + $165,000 - $780,000

OCF = -$2,285,000 - $165,000 + $780,000 = -$1,670,000

Suppose the government cuts taxes to keep the economy's cyclically adjusted budget in balance when the economy is expanding. The
lara31 [8.8K]

When the government cuts taxes to keep the economy's cyclically adjusted budget in balance when the economy is expanding. The government is engaging in "neutral fiscal policy".

<h3>What is neutral fiscal policy?</h3>

When a government choice to tax, spend, or borrow has, or is meant to have, no overall impact on the economy, the action is considered fiscally neutral. Changes in policy can be viewed as neutral in terms of either their macroeconomic, microeconomics, or both effects.

fiscal neutrality occurs when taxes and government spending have no net effect-

  • on the overall budget,
  • total demand,
  • economic activity.
