Working notes:

Calculate the amount of cash receipts from customers.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash}\text{receipts}\text{from}\\ \text{Customers}\end{array}]=\text{Net sales }\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accounts Receivable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Accounts Receivable}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{ Net sales }-\text{Increase in Accounts Receivable}\\ =\$3,400,000-\$60,000\\ =\$3,340,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of interest received.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest received}]=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{Interest income }\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Interest Receivable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Interest Receivable}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right\}\\ =\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{Interest income }\right)\\ \text{+ Decrease in Accounts Receivable}\end{array}\right]\\ =\left[\$60,000+\text{ \$5,000}\right]\\ =\$65,000\end{array}$

Calculate the cash paid to supplier and employees.

Step 1: Calculate the amount of cash paid to suppliers of merchandise.

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash}\text{paid to }\text{suppliers}\\ \text{of merchandise}\end{array}\right)=\text{Cost of Goods Sold }\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accounts Payable}\\ \text{/}\text{Increase in Inventory}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Accounts Payable }\\ \text{/}\text{Decrease in Inventory}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cost of goods sold + Decrease in accounts payable}\\ -\text{ Decrease in inventory}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$1,500,000+\$22,000-\$30,000\\ =\$1,492,000\end{array}$

Step 2: Calculate the amount paid for operating expenses.

$\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{Cash}\text{paid to }\text{operating expenses}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{Operating expenses }-\text{Depreciation expenses }\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accrued Operating}\\ \text{ Expenses Payable}\\ \text{/}\text{Increase in Short-Term Prepayment}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase inAccrued Operating }\\ \text{Expenses PayablePayable }\\ \text{/}\text{Decrease in Short-Term Prepayment}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right\}\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Operating expenses }-\text{Depreciation expenses }\\ \text{+}\text{Decrease in accrued operating}\\ \text{ expenses payable + }\\ \text{Increase in Short-Term Prepayment}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{\$900,000}-\$75,000\\ \text{+}\text{\$9,000 + \$8,000}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$842,000\end{array}$

Step 3: Calculate the amount of cash paid to supplier and employees.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash paid to supplier and employees}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash paid to suppliers of merchandise}\\ +\text{ Cash paid for operating expenses}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{\$1,492,000}+\$842000\\ =\$2,334,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash paid for interest expenses.

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash paid for}\\ \text{interest expenses}\end{array}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{Interest expense}\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in accrued expenses payable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in accrued expenses payable}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right\}\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Interest expense }-\\ \text{Increase in accrued expenses payable}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{=}\left(\text{\$27,000 }-\$4,000\right)\\ =23,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash paid for income tax expenses:

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash paid }\\ \text{for Income taxes}\end{array}\right)=\text{Income tax expense}\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in income tax payable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in income tax payable}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\text{Income tax expense + Decrease in income tax payable}\right)\\ \text{=}\left(\text{\$115,000 + }\$10,000\right)\\ =\$125,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of proceeds from sales of marketable securities.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Proceeds from sales of}\\ \text{marketable securities}\end{array}\}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cost of the marketable securities sold +}\\ \text{Gain reported on sales of marketable securities}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$40,000+\$25,000\right)\\ =\$65,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of proceeds from sales of plant assets.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Proceeds from sales }\\ \text{of plant assets}\end{array}\}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Book value of the plant assets sold }-\\ \text{Loss reported on sales of plant assets}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$30,000-\$8,000\right)\\ =\$22,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of proceeds from issuing capital stock.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Proceeds from }\\ \text{issuing capital stock}\end{array}\}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Amount credited to capital account+}\\ \text{Amount credited to additional}\\ \text{ paid-in capital account}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$60,000+\$100,000\right)\\ =\$160,000\end{array}$

b.

To determine

Explain why cash paid to suppliers is higher than cost of goods sold.

Explanation of Solution

The total amount of cash paid to suppliers is $2,334,000 and the given cost of goods sold is $1,500,000.

The following are the primary reason for the differences:

For the calculation of cash paid to suppliers the below adjustments are included.

• Decrease in inventory.
• Decrease in accounts payable.
• Depreciation expense
• Increase in prepaid operating expenses
• Decrease in accrued liabilities for operating expenses.

c.

To determine

Indicate F Company is in a weak cash position (if cash flows from investing and financing activities are negative).

Explanation of Solution

In fact, the negative cash flows from investing and financing activities indicate that the company is in a strong cash position. In 2018, the beginning balance of cash is $20,000 and at the end of the period, the cash balance is increased significantly an amount of $473,000. The major reason is the operating cash flows show a positive amount of $923,000. Therefore, it indicates that the company has a cash to meet the capital expenditures (investing activities) and make loans to borrower and pay the dividend to stockholders (financing activities).
