问题如下:
Using the following information, what is the firm's cash flow from operations:
选项:
A.$170,000.
B.$249,000.
C.$255,000.
解释:
CFO=Net income - profits from sale of equipment + depreciation - △AR - △inventories + △AP + △ wages payable + △ deferred tax liabilities = 200,000 - 6,000 + 36,000 - (-10,000) - 12,000 + 17,000 + (- 8,000) + 12,000 = $249,000.
The profit on the sale of equipment should be subtracted from net income because this transaction is classified as investing, not operating.
考点:opearting cash flow的计算
计算CFO有直接法和间接法两种方法。根据题目数据,可以判断应该用间接法计算。
从NI出发,需要调整:
①损益表中的Non-cash items和non-operating items
②资产负债表中net changes in working capital(AR、inventory、AP)
题目表格中的数据有损益表数据,有资产负债表的数据,也有现金流量表中的数据等,我们要从中挑选我们所需要的的调整项目。
CFO=Net income - profits from sale of equipment + depreciation - △AR - △inventories + △AP + △ wages payable + △ deferred tax liabilities = 200,000 - 6,000 + 36,000 - (-10,000) - 12,000 + 17,000 + (- 8,000) + 12,000 = $249,000.
由于销售资产相关的交易属于投资活动,不是经营活动,所以在计算operating CF时,销售设备产生的利润应从净利润中剔除。
我有点不能理解,为什么tax 和wage这个两项也计算在里面吗?这两项不是在直接法计算的时候,才需要考虑吗?
