Explanation of Solution

Working note:

Prepare the schedule in the changes of current assets and liabilities.

Schedule in the Change of Current Assets and Liabilities
Details	Amount ($)			Effect on Operating Activities
	Beginning Balance	Ending Balance	Increase/ (Decrease)
Accounts receivable	49	55	6	Deduct
Inventories	99	117	18	Deduct
Accounts payable	37	51	14	Add

Table (3)

Calculate the amount of depreciation expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Amount of depreciation expense =}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Ending balance -}\\ \text{ Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$68-\$42\right)\\ =\$26\end{array}$

Calculate the amount gain on sale of land:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Amount gain on sale of land}\text{= }\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{Book value of land}\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Beginning balance }\\ \text{- Ending balance }\\ \end{array}\right)\\ -\text{Sale value}\end{array}\right]\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\$80\left(\$330-\$250\right)\\ -\$120\end{array}\right)\\ =\$40\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash used to purchase of equipment:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Amount of cash used to }\\ \text{purchase of equipment }\end{array}\}\text{=}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Ending balance -}\\ \text{ Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$205-\$175\right)\\ =\$30\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash from common stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Amount of cash from}\\ \text{common stock}\end{array}\}\text{=}\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Ending balance -}\\ \text{ Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)+\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Paid in capital Ending balance }\\ \text{- Beginning balance}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ =\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\$125-\$80\right)\\ +\left(\$85-\$75\right)\end{array}\right]\\ =\$45+10\\ =\$60\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of dividends:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Amount of dividends =}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Balance of dividends -}\\ \text{ Cash dividends declared}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$5-\$24\right)\\ =\$19\end{array}$

Conclusion

Therefore, the ending cash balance is $183.

To determine

To Explain: The cash flow from operations more or less than net income

Explanation of Solution

• Depreciation expense amount of $26 does not show any effect on cash flow from operating activities.
• The gain on sale of land of $40 will be reported in operating activities. The proceeds from sale of $120 will be reported in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows.
• Moreover, the changes in current operating assets and liabilities are added or deducted based on the effect of below cash flows:

Increase in accounts receivable $6 (Deducted).

Increase in inventories $18 (Deducted).

Increase in accounts payable $14 (Added).
