Metro Bus Company had $400,000 of revenue and $401,000 of expense (including depreciation) for the current year resulting in a $1,000 net loss. All revenues were received in cash. All expenses were paid in cash, except for depreciation of $181,000. At the end of the year, the Balance Sheet shows $225,000 of Cash and $1,775,000 of other assets. The Company has no debt and all of the busses are modern - there is no plan to purchase more busses. Although there is sufficient Retained Earnings and they historically have paid dividends of $25,000, Management has decided against paying a dividend to stockholders in the current year. Instead, they issue a statement to their stockholders, explaining that "with a $1,000 net loss, Management feels there is insufficient cash for the dividend."

What is the Company's cash flow? What is the difference between cash flow and net income? Evaluate the accuracy of Management's statement: "with a $1,000 net loss, Management feels there is insufficient cash for the dividend." Evaluate the plan to skip the dividend. How would your response change if the stockholders were (a) common stockholders, (b) non-cumulative preferred, or (c) cumulative preferred?

A company has the following data:

• Revenue (Price x Quantity) = $750,000

• Total costs = $625,000

• The company has no semi-variable costs

The company will open a new branch that will increase its fixed costs by $125,000.

Determine the following:

a) Price of each unit.

b) Total variable cost.

c) Total fixed costs before the new branch.

d) Total fixed costs after the new branch.

e) Total costs after the new branch. f) Breakeven quantity after the new branch.

Upon adoption of the new revenue standard, a company wrestled with a growth versus net accounting policy judgement and ultimately rationalized that it should likely continue its current position unless there was a compelling reason in the guidance to change.

Identify one or more biases that could be at play, then explain.
