Question

10 cans are sold each period at $10 per can, the cost of producing each can is $6, there is no depreciation, the tax rate is 35%, and inventory is valued at cost.

We want to calculate the cash flow in period 10. The projects balance sheet at the end of period 9 is given by:

Assets:

Fixed Assets: 0

Current Assets: 100

Accounts Receivable: 46

Inventory: 54

Liabilities:

Shareholders Equity: 20

Current Liabilities: 80

Accounts Payable: 80

Assume all revenues and costs incurred in period 10 are paid in cash.

Find the cash flow in period 10 for each of the following cases. Do this in two ways: (1) as Cash Received – Cash paid and (2) As Net Income – Change in Net Working Capital

A. The people who owed us money from last period pay us $40 of the amount they owed
