Assume that the firm has an average tax rate of 35 percent. Compute the cash flows to investors from operating activity.

Answer 1

Answer: $535,251.25

Explanation:

Cash flow to investors from operating activities is calculated by:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation

= 1,484,000 - 803,000 - 175,000

= $506,000

Taxes = Tax rate * (EBIT - Interest)

= 35% * (506,000 - 89,575)

= $145,748.75

Cash flow to investors = 506,000 + 175,000 - 145,748.75

= $535,251.25
