Answer:
$888,000
Explanation:
In order to determine how much new debt was added, we must calculate cash flows:
first we need to determine net income:
sales ($2,485,000) - COGS ($1,349,000) - S&A expenses ($660,000) - depreciation expense ($462,000) = EBIT = $14,000
since EBIT is lower than interest expense ($14,000 ≤ $287,000), we can assume there was a loss. But the question tells us to ignore any tax losses. So net income = $14,000 - $287,000 = -$273,000
operating cash flow = net income + adjustments = -$273,000 + $462,000 = $189,000
there were not capital spending and no new investments made, so cash flow from investing activities = $0
so the net cash flow from assets = $189,000
net cash flow form assets = net cash flow from stockholders + net cash flow from liabilities
net cash flow from stockholders = common stock issued - dividends = $0 - $412,000 = -$412,000
$189,000 = -$412,000 + net cash flow from liabilities
$601,000 = net cash flow from liabilities
net cash flow from liabilities = net new long term debt - interest expense
$601,000 = net new long term debt - $287,000
net new long term debt = $601,000 + $287,000 = $888,000
