Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Net Income:

Cash from Operating Activity;

3. Net Operating Working Capital = Current Operating Assets - Current Non Interest Liabilities

NOWC = 164,030,000 - 30,080,000 = $133,950,000

4. Free Cash Flow = Cash from Operating Activities - Capital Expenditure

Free Cash Flow = 68,266,000 - 58,000,000 = $10,266,000

(Capital expenditure of 58,000,000 in purchase of Fixed Assets)

5. Calculation of MVA = Market Value of Capital Contributed - Capital Invested

Market Value of Equity= 5,000,000 x 60 =$300,000,000

MVA =300,000,000 - 260,500,000 = $39,500,000

EVA = Net Operating profit after taxes - (Capital x Cost of Capital)

Capital Invested = 260,500,000 x 13% = 33,865,000

EVA = 54,330,000 - 33,865,000 = $20,465,000

EVA = $20,465,000

7. Calculation of DSO:

DSO = Accounts Receivables / Net Sales Per Day

DSO = 57,950,000 / 1,863,014

DSO = 31.10 Days

8. Statement of Stockholders Equity:

Amount($) Sales 680,000,000 -Cost of Goods Sold(80%) 544,000,000 Net Operating Income 136,000,000 Less: Depreciation 28,300,000 Less: Interest 17,150,000 EBT 90,550,000 - Taxes(40%) 36,220,000 Net Income 54,330,000
