The 2009 balance sheet showed $4.05 million, $905,000, and $8.25 million in the same three accounts, respectively. The 2009 income statement showed an interest expense of $360,000. The company paid out $590,000 in cash dividends during 2009. If the firm’s net capital spending for 2009 was $760,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $135,000, the firm’s 2009 operating cash flow, or OCF?
a. $-1,470,000
b. $-2,095,000
c. $-3,900,000
d. $2,365,000
e. $-2,650,000
Answer:
Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividend – Net New Equity
Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividend – (Ending Common Stock + Ending Additional Paid-in Surplus Account – Beginning Common Stock – Beginning Additional Paid-in Surplus Account)
Cash Flow to Stockholders = $590,000 – ($905,000 + $8,250,000 – $710,000 – $6,500,000)
Cash Flow to Stockholders = -$1,355,000
Cash Flow to Creditor = Interest – Net New Long-term Debt
Cash Flow to Creditor = Interest – (Ending Long-term Debt – Beginning Long-term Debt)
Cash Flow to Creditor = $360,000 – ($4,050,000 – $2,950,000)
Cash Flow to Creditor = -$740,000
Cash Flow from Assets = Cash Flow to Stockholders + Cash Flow to Creditors
Cash Flow from Assets = (-$1,355,000) + (-$740,000)
Cash Flow from Assets = -$2,095,000
Cash Flow from Assets = OCF – Net Capital Spending – Change in NWC
-$2,095,000 = OCF – $760,000 – (-$135,000)
-$2,095,000 = OCF – $760,000 + $135,000
OCF = -$1,470,000
The OCF of the firm during 2009 is -$1,470,000
