Answer 1

Answer to Part A.

Net cash provided by Operating Activities = Cash received from Customer – Cash paid to Suppliers and Employees – Interest Paid – Taxes Paid
$72,074 = $3,701,327 - Cash paid to Suppliers and Employees - $28,134 - $42,046
Cash paid to Suppliers and Employees = $3,559,073

Answer to Part B.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities = Purchase of Equipment
Net Cash used in Investing Activities = -$4,272

Answer to Part C.

Net cash used in Financing Activities = New Loans + Funds Received from line of Credit – Repayment on Loans – Repayment on Lines of Credit – Repayment of Note
-$38,501 = $50,000 + $26,234 – Repayment on Loans - $26,234 - $38,501
Repayment on Loans = $50,000

Answer to Part D.

Net Increase in Cash = Cash provided by Operating Activities + Cash Used in Investing Activities + Cash used in Financing Activities
Net Increase in Cash = $72,074 - $4,272 - $38,501
Net Increase in Cash = $29,301

Answer to Part E.

Cash Balance, End of Year = cash Balance, Beginning of Year + Net Increase in Cash
$130,366 = cash Balance, Beginning of Year + $29,301
Cash Balance, Beginning of Year = $101,065
