Explanation / Answer

1. The taxable Income is calculated as follows

2. The Net Income is calculated as follows:

Net Income = Taxable Income *(1-tax rate) = 216,000*(1-0.39)= 131,760

3. Net Income = 131,760

Dividends paid = 45,000

Addition to retained earnings = Net Income - Dividends paid = 131,760 -45,000 = 86,760

Retained earnings balance on 12/31/2017 = 200,000 + 86,760 = 286,760

4. Adding back the depreciation to the net income will give the cash flow

Cash flow = Net Income + Depreciation

Cash flow = 131,760 +15,000 = 146,760
