  1. Depreciation of mfg equipment ($6k) goes into cost of goods manufactured, and depn of office equipment ($2k)goes into admin expenses. Total cost of gds mfd = raw mat’ls + production wages + factory overhead, i.e 18k + 15k + 6k = 39k. It cost 39k to manufacture 6k units, of which 5k were sold, so COGS = 32.5k and ending inventory = 6.5k

    Net book value of mfg equip. = 34k – 6k = 28k
    Nbv of office equip. = 12k – 2k = 10k

    Ending cash bal. = 85k + 75k – 12k – 34k – 10k – 15k – 18k = 71k

    Net Income:
    Sales 75k
    COGS (32.5k)
    Admin. sal. (10k)
    Admin. depn (2k)
    NI = 30,500

    This is the 1st yr, so Retained Earnings (RE) = NI = $30.5k

    Total assets:
    Fixed assets (at nbv) 38k (see above 28k + 10k)
    Inventories 6.5k
    Cash 71k
    Total assets = 115,500

    Net cash flow from op’g activities:
    NI 30,500
    Adjustment for:
    Depn 8,000
    Increase in inventory (6,500)
    Net cash flow from op’g activities = 32,000

    Net cash used in investing activities:
    Purchase of fixed assets (46,000)

    Net income = 30,500
    Retained earnings = 30,500
    Total assets = 115,500
    Net cash flow from operating activities = 32,000
    Net cash flow from investing activities = (46,000)

  2. I get the following

    Net income = $29,500
    This is the $75K in sales less cost of good sold, salaries and depreciation on the furniture and inventory. I assumed a straight line method of depreciation since you didn’t specify.

    Retained earnings = $29,500
    Since this is the first year of operation and there is no previous balance to add this years net income to.

    Total Assets = $114,500
    Made up of $71,000 Cash, $10,000 NBV of Furniture, $28,000 NBV of Equipment and $5,500 in Inventory (1000 units @ $5.50 ea)

    Cash flow from Operating activities = $29,500

    Cash flow from investing = ??? Not sure if there is any. Unless you mean the $85K from the sale of stock, however, I would call that "cash flow from financing activities".

  3. You might want to look at a few turnover ratios at the same time to see how well your assets and inventory are being used.

  4. Used furniture is a great way to save money and by looking at this site you could save a fortune !
