Formulas

P1Operating cash flow (indirect) = Net income + Non-cash expenses + Losses − Gains − Increases in current assets + Increases in current liabilities$38,000 + $24,000 + $6,000 − $16,000 − $36,000 + $4,000 = $20,000
P2Cash received from customers = Sales − Increase in accounts receivable$590,000 − $20,000 = $570,000
P3Net change in cash = Operating + Investing + Financing$20,000 + $2,000 − $17,000 = $5,000
P3Ending cash = Beginning cash + Net change$12,000 + $5,000 = $17,000
A2Free cash flow = Operating cash flow − Capital expenditures$20,000 − $10,000 = $10,000
A2Cash flow on total assets = Operating cash flow ÷ Average total assets$20,000 ÷ $200,000 = 10.0%
