Explanation of Solution

1. Cash flow from operating activities-
First, the receipts are calculated.

2. Cash receipts from customers
   
Given,

3. Sales for the year = $ 1,792,000
4. Accounts receivables for 2014 = $ 71,000
5. Accounts receivables for 2015 = $ 83,000

  $\begin{array}{l}Cashreceivedfromcustomers=\left(\begin{array}{l}Accountsreceivablesfor2014\\ +Salesfortheyear\end{array}\right)-Accountsreceivablesfor2015\hfill \\ Cashreceivedfromcustomers=\left(\$71,000+\$1,792,000\right)-\$83,000\hfill \\ Cashreceivedfromcustomers=\$1,780,000\hfill \end{array}$

Next, cash payments for the year will be calculated.
There are three cash payments during the year related to operating activities-


1. Cash paid for merchandise
2. Cash paid for other expenses
3. Cash paid for income taxes
These payments will be calculated as under-

4. Cash paid for merchandise
   
Given,

5. Cost of goods sold = $1,086,000
6. Accounts payables for 2014 = $71,000
7. Accounts payables for 2015 = $87,000
8. Inventory for 2014 = $526,000
9. Inventory for 2015 = $601,000

  $\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}Cashpaidformerchandise=Costofgoodssold+Increaseininventory-Increaseinpayables\hfill \\ Cashpaidformerchandise=\$1,086,000+\left(\$601,000-\$526,000\right)-\left(\$87,000-\$71,000\right)\hfill \\ Cashpaidformerchandise=\$1,086,000+\$75,000-\$16,000\hfill \end{array}\\ Cashpaidformerchandise=\$1,145,000\end{array}$
• Cash paid for other expenses
  
Given,

• Other expenses = $494,000

  $\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}Cashpaidforotherexpenses=OtherExpenses–Decreaseinprepaidexpenses\hfill \\ Cashpaidforotherexpenses=\$494,000–0\hfill \\ Cashpaidforotherexpenses=\$494,000\hfill \end{array}\\ \end{array}$
• Cash paid for income taxes
  
Given,

• Income tax = $22,000
• Income taxes payable for 2014= $25,000
• Income taxes payable for 2015=$28,000

  $\begin{array}{l}Cashpaidforincometaxes=Incometaxexpense-Increaseinincometaxpayable\hfill \\ Cashpaidforincometaxes=\$22,000-\left(\$28,000-\$25,000\right)\hfill \\ Cashpaidforincometaxes=\$22,000-\$3,000\hfill \\ Cashpaidforincometaxes=\$19,000\hfill \end{array}$

Now, the total cash payments will be calculated as under −

  $\begin{array}{l}Totalpayments=Cashpaidformerchandise+Cashpaidforotherexpenses+Cashpaidforincometaxes\hfill \\ Totalpayments=\$1,145,000+\$494,000+19,000\hfill \\ Totalpayments=\$1,658,000\hfill \end{array}$

Now, cash flow from operating activities will be calculated as −

  $\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}Cashflowfromoperatingactivities=Totalreceipts–Totalpayments\hfill \\ Cashflowfromoperatingactivities=\$1,780,000-\$1,658,000\hfill \end{array}\\ Cashflowfromoperatingactivities=\$122,000\end{array}$

The cash flow from operating activities = $122,000.


1. Cash flow from investing activities-
Given,

2. Cash paid for equipment purchase = $36,000
The cash used in investing activities = ($36,000).

3. Cash flow from financing activities-
Given,

4. Cash paid for dividends= $89,000
Cash received from issuing stock is calculated as under-

  $\begin{array}{l}Cashreceivedfromissuingstock=No.ofshares\times Pricepershare\hfill \\ Cashreceivedfromissuingstock=12,000shares\times \$5\hfill \\ Cashreceivedfromissuingstock=\$60,000\hfill \end{array}$

Now, cash flow from financing activities will be calculated as −

  $\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}Cashusedinfinancingactivities=Cashreceivedfromissuingstock-Cashpaidfordividends\hfill \\ Cashusedinfinancingactivities=\$60,000-\$89,000\hfill \end{array}\\ Cashusedinfinancingactivities=\left(\$29,000\right)\end{array}$

The cash used in financing activities = ($29,000).
Now, we need to calculate net increase/ (decrease in cash)-

  $\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}Netincreaseincash=Cashflowsfromoperatingactivities-Cashusedininvestingactivities\\ -Cashusedinfinancingactivities\end{array}\hfill \\ Netincreaseincash=\$122,000-\$36,000-\$29,000\hfill \\ Netincreaseincash=\$57,000\hfill \end{array}$

Last step is to calculate Ending cash balance-
Given,


• Cash balance for 2014=$107,000

  $\begin{array}{l}Endingcashbalance=Netincreaseincash+Cashbalancefor2014\hfill \\ Endingcashbalance=\$57,000+\$107,000\hfill \\ Endingcashbalance=\$164,000\hfill \end{array}$

Conclusion

Thus, cash flow statement using direct method has been prepared.
