Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine your best guess for the rate of return on the stock

The revised estimate on the rate of return on

the stock would be:

Before

14% = α +[4%*1] + [6%*0.4]

α = 14% - 6.4%

α = 7.6%

With the changes:

7.6% + [5%*1] + [7%*0.4]

= 7.6% + 5% + 2.8%

= 15.4%

Therefore your best guess for the rate of return on the stock will be 15.4%

Using the indirect method calculate the amount of net cash flows from operating activities from the following data.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Net cash: $199,600

Explanation:

First, we need to identify the increase and decrease in accounts:

+) Decrease in Account Payable = Beginning Account Payable - Ending Account Payable = 12,000 - 11,200 =$8,000

+) Decrease in Account Receivable = Beginning Account Receivable - Ending Account Receivable = 20,000 - 17,600 = $2,400

+) Increase in Prepaid Expense = Ending - Beginning = $5,600 - $4,000 = $1,600

Net cash flows from operating activities of the company can be calculated in indirect method as follow:

Net income               $166,000

<em>Adjustments to reconcile the net income to net cash flow from operating activities:</em>

Decrease in account payable              ($11,200)

Depreciation Expense                          $40,800

Amortization of intangible assets         $3,200

Decrease in Account Receivable         $2,400

Increase in Prepaid Expense                ($1,600)

=> Net cash provided = Net income - Decrease in accountable + Depreciation Expense + Amortization of intangible assets + Decrease in Account Receivable - Increase in Prepaid Expense  

= 166,000 - 11,200 + 40,800 + 3,200 + 2,400 - 1,600 = $199,600

Net cash: $199,600
