Semester 1, 2017
A thorough understanding of the relationships among the balance sheet, income statement, and
cash flow statement can be developed by following the financial events of a firm over a fiscal year.
This problem illustrates how each pro forma incremental financial statement relates to sales,
purchases, capital expenditures, depreciation, taxes, and working capital items, such as
inventories, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
For each year listed below, prepare the incremental balance sheet, incremental operating income
statement, and incremental cash flow statement.
A project begins its life with a $5,000 cash allocation from the firm. This entire amount will be
used to buy manufacturing equipment with a useful life of 10-years that will be depreciated at
prime cost.
Year 1 (Depreciation)
During the fiscal year, the firm expects to sell 600 finished products at a price of $8.00 each.
The raw materials required are expected to cost $2.50 per each. At the end of the fiscal year,
the firm will depreciate the manufacturing equipment and pay taxes.
The firm’s balance sheet at the end of year 6 is provided in the worksheets. In year 7, the
following events will happen:
(A) The firm expects to buy inventory for 200 items at a price $25 each, paying the supplier
in cash.
(B) During the fiscal year, the firm expects to sell 130 finished products at a price of $32
each. Of these, 80 are sold in cash and 50 by credit.
(C) The firm expects to make a cash payment of $2,160 on raw materials previously
purchased from suppliers on credit.
(D) At the end of the fiscal year, the firm will pay taxes.
Assume that, concurrent with the end of fiscal year 7, the firm sells the manufacturing
equipment for $3,000.
Questions:
1. In year 0, how can you use the amount of capital expenditures to adjust incremental
operating earnings and find incremental cash flows?
2. In year 1, how can you use the amount of depreciation to adjust incremental operating
earnings to find incremental cash flows?
4. In year 7b, how can you use the amount of after-tax salvage to adjust incremental
operating earnings to find incremental cash flows?
5. Combine your answers from questions 1 through 4 to derive the indirect method:
