Answer:
Option B. -$182,057
Explanation:
The Cash flow from financing activities can be calculated by using the following formula:
Cash flow from financing activities = Changes in the equity finance
+ Changes in long term borrowings + Changes in short term borrowings
- Interest paid - Dividends paid
Here
Changes in the equity = $175,000 common stock in year 2008
- $125,000 common stock in year 2008 = $50,000
Changes in long term Borrowings = $61,290 - $78,445 = - $17,155
Changes in short term Borrowings = $16,753 - $12,004 = $4749
Interest paid is $0 because interest rate is not given hence we can't calculate it.
Dividends paid = $190,568 Opening Retained Earnings + $248,462 Net Profit for the year - $219,379 Closing Retained Earnings = $219,651
Now, by putting values in the above equations, we have:
Cash flow from financing activities = $50,000 - $17,155 + $4749 - 0 - $219,651 = -$182,057
Answer: D. 2.2%
Explanation: Equity Dividend Rate is calculated by dividing the Before Tax Cash Flow by the Acquisition price. If you need the answer in percentage form, you then multiply by 100.
Here, before-tax cash flow = $11,440
Acquisition price = $520,000
So Equity Dividend Rate = X 100
Equity Dividend Rate = 2.2%
In this question, you do not need the Net Operating Income (NOI). You only need the NOI if the Before Tax Cash Flow is not given and the debt service payment is. If this is the case, you subtract the debt service payment from the NOI to get the Before Tax Cash Flow.
