a) Net income for the next quarter:
= $50
b) Cash outflow for this quarter = $1,000
c) Cash inflow in the third quarter = $550
d) Net working capital in the next quarter = $550
Explanation:
a) Production of chain-letter kits for the quarter = 100 units
Total production cost (outlay) = $1,000 (100 * $10)
Sales in the second quarter = $550 (50 * $11)
Sales in the third quarter = $600 (50 * $12)
Cash collections:
Third quarter = $550
Fourth quarter = $600
a) Net income for the next quarter:
Sales revenue = $550
Production cost 500 ($1,100 * 50/100)
Net income = $50 ($550 - $500)
b) Cash outflow for this quarter = $1,000
c) Cash inflow in the third quarter = $550
d) Net working capital in the next quarter = $550
