DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Free cash flow is

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": cash flow from operations less cash used to purchase fixed assets to maintain productive capacity.

Explanation:

Free cash flow or FCF is the money available for investors and creditors after subtracting the operational expenditures and investments from the sales of a company.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct answer is $240,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, given data are as follows:

Beginning inventory at cost = $70,000

Beginning inventory at retail = $100,000

Net purchases at cost = $270,000

Net purchases at retail = $360,000

Total sales = $320,000

According to the LIFO method.

Particulars Cost Retail Cost/Retail Ratio

Beginning inventory $70,000 $100,000 70%

Net purchases $270,000 $360,000 75%

Total Inventory $340,000 $460,000

Total sales $320,000

Ending inventory ( Estimated )

($360,000-$320,000)× 75% $30,000

$70,000 × 70% $70,000

Ending inventory at cost $100,000

Estimated cost of goods sold $240,000.

Hence the correct answer is $240,000.
