  3. Dividends paid $12,500
  4. Purchase of an office suite $104,000
  5. Common stock repurchase $45,000
  6. Dividends received from investments $8,500

  10. Ending cash balance $98,000
    $198,300
    In the above question, the beginning cash balance of the firm was ________.:
  11. $216,300
  12. .$207,300
  13. C$198,300
    N. $109,300

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Note that the loss on equipment is a non-cash event. Using the direct method, beginning cash balance + net cash inflow = ending cash balance Hence, beginning balance = 98,000 - (32,000 -12,500 -104,000 - 45,000 + 8,500 +1,200 - 3,700 + 14,200) = $207,300.



Which of the following conditions would allow a firm to classify a short-term liability as a long-term debt?

  1. The firm has issued a long-term note with the stated purpose of extinguishing the short-term debt when it matures. The note is cancelable if there are violations of certain operating provisions.
    II. The firm has entered into a binding agreement with a bank to refinance the short-term debt with a long-term liability.
    III. The firm has announced that it will continue to refinance the debt with available credit for the next 2 years.
  2. III only
  3. I & III
  4. II only
  5. II & III

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

If these agreements have any provisions for cancellation which are either ambiguous or which have a good probability of being violated, then the short-term debt cannot be classified as a long-term debt. That's why (I) is not a valid choice. (III) is not acceptable since there is no demonstration of credible intent or ability to be able to refinance the debt.
