Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Cash Flow to Creditors

Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest Expenses Paid - Net Increase in Long term debt

= Interest Expenses Paid - [Long term debt at the end - Long term Debt at the Beginning]

= $175,000 - [$2,350,000 - $2,500,000

= $175,000 - (-$150,000)

= $325,000

b. Cash Flow to Stockholders

Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividend Paid - Net New Equity

= Dividend Paid - [ (Ending common stock balance + Additional paid-in surplus account at the end) - (Beginning common stock balance + Additional paid-in surplus account at the beginning)

= $635,000 - [ ($955,000 + $3,600,000) - ($725,000 + $3,750,000) ]

= $635,000 - [$4,555,000 - $4,475,000]

= $635,000 - $80,000

= $555,000

c. Cash Flow from assets

Cash Flow from assets = Cash Flow to Creditors + Cash Flow to Stockholders

= $325,000 + $555,000

= $880,000

d. Operating Cash Flow

As We know that,

Cash flow from assets = Operating Cash flows - Change in Net Working capital - Net Capital Spending

$880,000 = Operating cash flow - ($65,000) - $500,000

So,

Operating cash flow = $880,000 + $65,000 + $500,000

= $1,445,000
