Which of the following is/are true?

  1. An increase in inventories has a positive impact on cash flows.
    II. An increase in receivables has a negative impact on cash flows.
    III. Deferred taxes increase current cash balance.
    IV. Utilization of tax loss carry-forwards has a positive impact on cash flows.
  2. I, II & IV
  3. II & III
  4. I & IV
  5. II, III & IV

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

An increase in inventories implies cash was spent to obtain more goods than were sold. An increase in receivables implies part of the sales were made on credit, not a cash basis. Deferring taxes implies some of the cash expense was delayed into the future, increasing the current cash balance. Utilization of taxloss carry- forwards implies a reduction in the taxable income by the amount of the carry-forward. This reduces cash expense on taxes.

  2. 40

Suppose the average stock price in the above example were 40. How many shares will be used in the calculation of Diluted EPS now?

  1. none of these answers
  2. 1,250,000
  3. 1,208,333
  4. 1,300,000

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Since the average stock price now exceeds the strike price, the warrants are assumed converted. The proceeds from the exercise equal 800,000*35 = 28 million. The Treasury Stock method assumes a purchase of shares at 40 using these proceeds. Thus, the number of shares repurchased = 28,000,000/40 = 700,000. Thus, the additional shares arising from warrant exercise equals 800,000 - 700,000 = 100,000. Now, in the Treasury Stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, whichever is later. Thus, in this case, the addition 100,000 shares have been outstanding since May 31, 1998. So the weighted number of shares for Diluted EPS = 1 million + 200,000*9/12 + 100,000*7/12 = 1,208,333 shares.
