To calculate:
1) Net income (loss) for 2010.
2) Operating cash flow
Solution: 1)
Sales = $850000
Less: Cost of goods sold = $610000
Gross profit = $240000
Less: Administrative and selling expenses = $110000
Earning before Interest, Tax and Depreciation = $130000
Less: Depreciation = $140000
Earning before Interest and Tax (EBIT) = ($10000)
Less: Interest expense = $85000
Earning before tax (EBT) = ($95000)
Less: Tax = $0 (as company is having negative EBT or loss hence no tax)
Net loss = $95000
2) Operating cash flow
EBIT + Depreciation - Tax
Wherein, EBIT = Earning before Interest and Tax
($10000) + 140000 - 0 = $130000
