At the end of 20x4, PH Computer had retained earnings of $3,870. At the end of 20x5, retained earnings was reported as $4,560. Net income in 20x4 and 20x5 is $490 and $1080, respectively. How much did PH Computer pay in dividends to its stockholders in 20

$390 = New RE = Old RE + Net Income - Dividends.

Cash Flow from Operations

Cash flow from Operations =

CFF = Cash flows from financing

Dividends = (old RE + Net Income) - New RE

CFI (formula)

Long term assets increase from--to

CFO =

CFO = NI + depreciation expense + decreases in operating assets - increases in operating

change in RE =

Holding all else equal, higher levels of depreciation on an income statement will lead to:

Lower tax expenses

present value

If we were to receive some lump sum in the future and we wanted to determine the value of the lump sum in today's dollars, we must _______________ this future cash flow.

If you deposit $1000 in an account earning 10% per year, how much would you have in the account after one year?

One year: $1,100

If you deposit $1000 in an account earning 10% per year, how much would you have in the account after two years?

Two years: $1,210.

In order to determine the value of some lump sum in the future, we must use the process of _________________.

Compounding

In the basic framework, a firm can allocate net income to one of two items. These two items are:

Dividends and Retained Earnings

includes any cash flows resulting from increased borrowing, debt repayment, stock issuance, stock repurchase or dividend payment.

Cash flow from financing

includes direct materials and direct labor associated with the production process.

Cost of goods sold

involves any cash in or out of the company due to investment in or disposal of fixed assets.

Cash flow from investing

Kirtland Inc. reported current assets of $139 million, the owners' equity of $176 million, and the total liabilities of $165 millions. If accumulated depreciation is $35 million, what is Kirkland's gross fixed assets?

Solution: Recall, Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity. Further, Assets = Total Current Assets + Net Fixed Assets. Hence, we know the following:
� Liabilities + Owners' Equity = $165 mil + $176 mil = $341 mil = Total Assets
� Net Fixed Assets = Total Ass

KitchenMate reported an increase in retained earnings of $234,500. KitchenMate also reported net income of $400,000 and paid a cash dividend. If KitchenMate had NOT paid any dividends, retained earnings would have increased by:

change in RE = Net Income - Dividends. This year, KitchenMate paid total dividends of $400,000 - $234,500 = $165,500. If the firm did not pay any dividends, then Change in RE = $400,000 - $0 = $400,000.

LeftAid reported revenues of $26,121, cost of goods sold of $19,327, operating expenses of $6,531, depreciation expense of $100 and interest expense of $529. If the tax rate is 40%, what is LeftAid's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)?

Major Principles in Accounting-ese

Accrual-based accounting & Historical cost

measures how quickly it can be turned into cash without taking a large discount in value

liquidity

Net Income (directly from the income statement)

+ Non-cash expenses (depr. exp)
+ Increase in Operating Asset accounts (other than cash).
+ Increase in Operating Liability Accounts (other than notes payable).
- Decrease in Operating Liability Accounts (other than notes payable)
= CFO

Net Income =

Net Income = Dividends + change in RE

New RE =

New RE = Old RE + Change in RE

Only two things we can do with net income:

1. pay out as dividends
2. retain within company
