Answer to Question #238344 in Economics for Tarie

Question

The CEO of Allied Products considers R20 000 to be a minimum cash balance for operating purposes. As can be seen from the I/S and B/S below, only R15 000 in cash was available at the end of 2010. Since the company reported a large net income for the year, and also issued bonds and sold long-term investments, the sharp decline in cash is puzzling to the CEO.

2.1 Use the I/S, B/S and attached CFS Spreadsheet to draw up a cash flow statement (CFS) for Allied Products for the year 2010. (22)

Note the following:

− Some of the CFS entries are already calculated and entered on the spreadsheet and must therefore just be transferred to the CFS

− Net cash provided by operating activities (R x 103) = 21 − Net cash used in investing activities (R x 103)= -106

− Net cash used in financing activities (R x 103)= 67

2.2 Briefly explain why the loss on the sale of equipment is recorded as a positive value (R6) and the gain on the sale of long-term (LT) investments is negative (-R20) respectively. (4)
