Answer 1

2. Cash flow to stockholders can be negative in any given year :

The formula for the cash flow to stock holders is :

Dividend paid - new equity raised.

When the amount paid to the stockholders as dividend as less than the amount raised as new equity, then the cash flow to stockholders is negative.

3. Cash flow to creditors = Interest paid – Net new borrowing

If a company borrows more than it pays in interest and principal, its cash flow to creditors will be negative.

4. the value for total assets = current assets + fixed assets

= $15,000 + $13,500

= $28,500

b total liabilities = current liabilities + long term debt

= $5000 + $20,300

=$25,300

c. Equity = Total assets - total liabilities

= $28,500 - $25,300

= $3,200

d. net working capital:

current assets - current liabilities

=$15,000 - $5000

= $10,000
