Explanation of Solution

From the income statement it is observed that, interest expense amounting to $517 has paid to debt fund holders. If company has entirely financed by equity there is no need of payment of interest. So that amount is also treated as income. On that income, Company has to pay 21% corporate tax to the government.

 Tax=$517×0.21=$108.57

Therefore the amount of $108.57 has been additionally paid by company to government.

Cashflowfromoperations=Netincome+Interest+DepreciationAdditionstonetworkingcapital=$5,465+0+$1,402$258=$6,945

The amount of net income is given in the question as $5,465.

Here, capital expenditure is $3,049. Therefore,
