2.

Grouper Corp. completed its first year of operations on December 31, 2017. Its initial income statement showed that Grouper Corp. had sales revenue of $598,158 and operating expenses of $250,743. Accounts receivable and accounts payable at year-end were $181,260 and $69,483, respectively. Assume that accounts payable related to operating expenses. Ignore income taxes.

Compute net cash provided (used) by operating activity using the direct method. (Show amounts that decrease cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)

(a) Cash payments to suppliers

(b) Cash payments for operating expenses

Explanation / Answer

1) Cash payment to supplier = (5607-5.3-14.7) = 5587 million

Cash payment for operation expenses = (11316-1260+38.70-212) = 9882.70 million

2) Cash flow from operating activity :

Cash from sales (598158-181260) 416898 Cash paid for expense (250743-69483) (181260) Net cash provided (used) by operating activity 235638
