Zhang Corporation had net income of $100,000, paid income taxes of $30,000, and had interest expense of $8,000. What was Zhang's times interest earned ratio?

17.25(Income before income taxes and interest ($100,000 + $30,000 + $8,000 = $138,000) is divided by interest charges ($8,000).)

Ames Corporation's net accounts receivable were $750,000 on December 31, 20X1, and $1,250,000 on December 31, 20X2. Net cash sales for 20X2 were $3,300,000. The accounts receivable turnover ratio for 20X2 was 16. What were the total net sales for 20X2?

19,300,000(Total net sales equals cash sales ($3,300,000) plus credit sales ($16,000,000). Credit sales are 16 times the amount of average accounts receivable (($750,000 + $1,250,000)/2 = $1,000,000).)

3(Cost of goods sold ($6,000,000) is divided by average inventory ($2,000,000).)

Direct Approach

The preferred method for preparing the statement of cash flows; operating cash flows are presented according to their direct source. Companies using the direct approach must supplement the cash flow statement with a reconciliation of income to cash from operations.

Wilkin Corporation reported accrual basis sales of $200,000, cost of goods sold of $80,000, and operating expenses, taxes, and interest summing to $30,000. In evaluating Wilkin's comparative balance sheets, it is determined that accounts receivable increased $10,000, inventory increased $5,000, and accounts payable decreased $7,000. There were no changes in prepaid expenses nor were there any interest or taxes payable at the beginning or end of the year. How much was cash basis income for Wilkin Corporation for the year?

68,000(The accrual basis income ($200,000 - $80,000 - $30,000 = $90,000) is reduced by the increase in accounts receivable ($10,000), the increase in inventory ($5,000), and the decrease in accounts payable ($7,000).)

Dixon Corporation reported 20X1 accrual basis net income of $50,000. Relevant information to adjust accrual basis income to cash basis income follows. Depreciation expense $12,000 Loss on the sale of land 16,000 Increase in accounts receivable 8,000 Decrease in merchandise inventory 4,000 Increase in accounts payable 3,000 Increase in taxes payable 2,000 How much is net cash provided by operating activities?

79,000(The $50,000 accrual basis income should be increased by depreciation expense ($12,000), loss on the sale of land ($16,000), decrease in merchandise inventory ($4,000), increase in accounts payable ($3,000), and increase in taxes payable ($2,000), and be decreased by the increase in accounts receivable ($8,000). ($50,000 + $12,000 + $16,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 + $2,000 - $8,000 = $79,000).)

Operating Activities

Financial Statement Analysis

Application of analytical tools to general-purpose financial statements and related data for making business decisions.

Gain on sale of land

Does not appear in the operating cash flows. The entire proceeds will be listed in the investing activities; it is a "nonoperating" item. In Reconciliation: It increased income, but is not related to operations. It is an investing item and the gain is not the sales price.

In preparing the statement of cash flows, how should noncash investing/financing activities be reported?

Be reported in a separate schedule accompanying the statement of cash flows
