These are the values to substitute '???':-
Cash flow to the
stockholders of Sukhum Inc.:-
A) -$45 [See Note 3]
Notes:
Note 1: Common
Stock-
We find this by backworking. The value of Retained Earnings is $875
[See Note 2 for reasoning]. And the total value of liabilities and
equity is $1,735, and we have all other values such as Total debt
at $205 and total current liabilities at $320. We know that the sum
total of common stock, retained earnings, total debt and total
current liablities shall be $1,735. So value of common stock =
$1,735 - $875 - $205 - $320 = $335.
Note 2: Retained
Earnings-
Begenning value: $795.
Addition [stated in Income statement]: $80
Therefore, closing value: $875 [being $795 +
$80]
Note 3: Cash
flow to stockholders-
As the beginning value of common stock was $290 and the ending
value was $335 [Note 1], it means that the company has issued
additional common stock to the tune of $45. This is the cash
outflow to the individual (or any other for that matter)
stockholders. Thus, the cash flow to stockholders is in the
negative, being -$45.
