The 2017 balance sheet of Kerber's Tennis Shop, Inc., showed $2.7 million in long-term debt, $760,000 in the common stock account, and $6.25 million in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2018 balance sheet showed $4.25 million, $905,000, and $7.9 million in the same three accounts, respectively. The 2018 income statement showed an interest expense of $180,000. The company paid out $510,000 in cash dividends during 2018.

    Answer: - ($2,000,000)

    Explanation:

    Cash flow to creditors = Increase in long term debt + Interest Paid

    = ($2.7 - $4.25) + $180,000

    = - $1,550,000 + $180,000

    = - ($1,370,000)

    Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends paid + Increase in common stock + Increase in additional paid-in surplus account

    = $510,000 + ($760,000 - $905,000) + ($6.25 - $7.9)

    = $510,000 - $145,000 - $1,650,000

    = - ($1,285,000)

    Cash flow from Assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to shareholders

    = - ($1,370,000) - ($1,285,000)

    = - ($2,655,000)

    Operating cash flow = Cash flow from Assets + Change in net working capital + net capital spending

    = - ($2,655,000) + (-$195,000) + $850,000

    = - ($2,000,000)
