Working notes:

The amount of cash receipts from customers.

Step 1: Calculate the change in accounts receivable.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Change in accounts receivable}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Ending balance}\\ -\text{Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{\$83,000}-\$71,000\\ =\$12,000\left(\text{Increase}\right)\end{array}$

Step 2: The Calculate the amount of cash receipts from customers.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash}\text{receipts}\text{from}\\ \text{Customers}\end{array}]=\text{Sales}\text{revenue }\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accounts Receivable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Accounts Receivable}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{ Sales Revenue }-\text{Increase in Accounts Receivable}\\ =\$1,792,000-\$12,000\\ =\$1,780,000\end{array}$

Calculate the cash payments to suppliers.

Step 1: Calculate the change in inventory.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Change in inventory=}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Ending balance}\\ -\text{Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{\$601,000}-\$526,000\\ =\$75,000\left(\text{Increase}\right)\end{array}$

Step 2: Calculate the change in accounts payable.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Change in accounts payable}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Ending balance}\\ -\text{Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{\$87,000}-\$71,000\\ =\$16,000\left(\text{Increase}\right)\end{array}$

Step 3: Calculate the amount of cash payments to suppliers.

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash}\text{paid }\\ \text{to }\text{suppliers}\end{array}\right)=\text{Cost of Goods Sold }\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accounts Payable}\\ \text{/}\text{Increase in Inventory}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Accounts Payable }\\ \text{/}\text{Decrease in Inventory}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cost of goods sold }-\text{Increase in accounts payable}\\ \text{ + Increase in inventory}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$1,086,000-\$16,000+\$75,000\\ =\$1,145,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash paid for income tax expenses:

Step 1: Calculate the change in income taxes payable.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Change in income taxes payable =}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Ending balance}\\ -\text{Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\\ =\text{\$28,000}-\$25,000\\ =\$3,000\left(\text{Increase}\right)\end{array}$

Step 2: Calculate the amount of cash paid for income taxes.

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash paid }\\ \text{for Income taxes}\end{array}\right)=\text{Income tax expense}\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in income tax payable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in income tax payable}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\text{Income tax expense }-\text{ Increase in income tax payable}\right)\\ \text{=}\left(\text{\$22,000 }-\$3,000\right)\\ =\$19,000\end{array}$

Compute the amount of issuance of common stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Issuance of common stock =}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Number of issued common shares }\\ \times \text{ Cash per share}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(12,000\text{ shares}\times \text{\$5}\right)\\ =\$60,000\end{array}$
