$

Explanation:
Owners’ equity has to be total liabilities & equity minus accumulated retained earnings and total liabilities, so:
 
Owner’s equity = Total liabilities & equity – Accumulated retained earnings – Total liabilities
Owners’ equity = $6,959,000 – 4,606,000 – 1,711,000
Owners’ equity = $642,000


You are given the following information for Sookie’s Cookies Co.: sales = $52,100; costs = $38,700;

You are given the following information for Sookie’s Cookies Co.: sales = $52,100; costs = $38,700; addition to retained earnings = $2,975; dividends paid = $980; interest expense = $1,470; tax rate = 30 percent.
 
Required:
Calculate the depreciation expense. (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)
 
  Depreciation expense  $  


Explanation:
Here we need to work the income statement backward. Starting with net income, we know that net income is:
 
Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings
Net income = $980 + 2,975
Net income = $3,955

Net income is also the taxable income, minus the taxable income times the tax rate, or:

Net income = Taxable income – (Taxable income)(Tax rate)
Net income = Taxable income(1 – Tax rate)

We can rearrange this equation and solve for the taxable income as:

Taxable income = Net income / (1 – Tax rate)
Taxable income = $3,955 / (1 – 0.30)
Taxable income = $5,650
    
EBIT minus interest equals taxable income, so rearranging this relationship, we find:
 
EBIT = Taxable income + Interest
EBIT = $5,650 + 1,470
EBIT = $7,120

Now that we have the EBIT, we know that sales minus costs minus depreciation equals EBIT. Solving this equation for EBIT, we find:

EBIT = Sales – Costs – Depreciation
$7,120 = $52,100 – 38,700 – Depreciation
Depreciation = $6,280

Hammett, Inc., has sales of $19,630, costs of $9,400, depreciation expense of $2,070, and interest

Hammett, Inc., has sales of $19,630, costs of $9,400, depreciation expense of $2,070, and interest expense of $1,560. Assume the tax rate is 30 percent.  
Required:
What is the operating cash flow? (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)
 
  Operating cash flow   $  
 

Explanation:
To calculate the OCF, we first need to construct an income statement. The income statement starts with revenues and subtracts costs to arrive at EBIT. We then subtract out interest to get taxable income, and then subtract taxes to arrive at net income. Doing so, we get:

 Income statement
  Sales $ 19,630  
  Costs   9,400  
  Depreciation  2,070  


  EBIT $ 8,160  
  Interest 1,560  


  Taxable income $ 6,600  
  Taxes (30%) 1,980  


  Net income $ 4,620  






Now we can calculate the OCF, which is:

OCF = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes
OCF = $8,160 + 2,070 – 1,980
OCF = $8,250

Lifeline, Inc., has sales of $590,000, costs of $268,000, depreciation expense of $68,500, interest

Lifeline, Inc., has sales of $590,000, costs of $268,000, depreciation expense of $68,500, interest expense of $35,500, and a tax rate of 40 percent.

Required:
What is the net income for this firm? (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)

  Net income $  
 

Explanation:
The income statement starts with revenues and subtracts costs to arrive at EBIT. We then subtract out interest to get taxable income, and then subtract taxes to arrive at net income. Doing so, we get:
 
 Income statement
  Sales $ 590,000  
  Costs 268,000  
  Depreciation 68,500  


  EBIT $ 253,500  
  Interest 35,500  


  Taxable income $ 218,000  
  Taxes 87,200  


  Net income $ 130,800  

Arredondo, Inc., has current assets of $2,360, net fixed assets of $11,200, current liabilities of $1,445,

Arredondo, Inc., has current assets of $2,360, net fixed assets of $11,200, current liabilities of $1,445, and long-term debt of $4,170.

Requirement 1:
What is the value of the shareholders’ equity account for this firm? (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)
 
  Shareholder's equity  $   

Requirement 2:
How much is net working capital? (Do not include the dollar sign ($).)
 
  Net working capital  $   
 

Explanation:
 The balance sheet for the company will look like this:
 
Balance sheet
  Current assets $ 2,360     Current liabilities $ 1,445  
  Net fixed assets 11,200     Long-term debt 4,170  
  Owner's equity 7,945  




  Total assets $ 13,560     Total liabilities & Equity $ 13,560  










The owner's equity is a plug variable. We know that total assets must equal total liabilities & owner's equity. Total liabilities and equity is the sum of all debt and equity, so if we subtract debt from total liabilities and owner's equity, the remainder must be the equity balance, so:
 
 Owner’s equity = Total liabilities & equity – Current liabilities – Long-term debt
 Owner’s equity = $13,560 – 1,445 – 4,170
 Owner’s equity = $7,945
 
 Net working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, so:
 
 NWC = Current assets – Current liabilities
 NWC = $2,360 – 1,445
 NWC = $915
