Interpreting the Statement of Cash Flows. Texas Instruments primarily develops and manufactures semiconductors for use in technology-based products for various industries. The manufacturing process is capital-intensive and subject to cyclical swings in the economy. Because of overcapacity in the industry and a cutback on spending for technology products due to a recession, semiconductor prices collapsed in Year 1 and commenced a steady comeback during Years 2 through 4.
Exhibit 3.19 presents a statement of cash flows for Texas Instruments for Year 0 to Year 4.

Not only will sales increase but investment in inventory will decline due to increased efficiencies in getting inventory to showrooms. As a result of this new distribution center, Spartan expects a change in EBIT of $900,000. Although inventory is expected to drop from $82,000 to $65,000, accounts receivables are expected to climb as a result of increased credit sales from $85,000 to $190,000. In addition, accounts payable are expected to increase from $67,000 to $84,000. This project will also produce $400,000 of bonus depreciation in year 1 and Spartan Stores is in the 35 percent marginal tax rate.

Based on records, ABC has receivables, inventory and payable turnovers of 3.5, 5.6, and 7.7 times a year. The industry averages for ages of receivables, inventory and payables are 30, 60, and 45 days. Management of which working capital component should ABC prioritize to improve? Final answer must be the suggested decrease in average age of that specific component (e.g., if average age of receivables is to be decreased by 5.33 days, then final answer must be 5.33.

Periodically, the company experiences a decrease in the value of its gas- and oil-producing properties, and a special charge to income was recorded in order to reduce the carrying value of those assets. Assume the following information. In 2016, CNG estimated the cash inflows from its oil- and gas-producing properties to be $375,000 per year. During 2017, the write-downs described above caused the estimate to be decreased to $275,000 per year. Production costs (cash outflows) associated with all these properties were estimated to be $125,000 per year in 2016, but this amount was revised to $155,000 per year in 2017.Instructions(Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.)(a) Calculate the present value of net cash flows for 2016–2018 (three years), using the 2016…arrow_forwardSummit Manufacturing’s most recent statements of cash flows indicate that the firm has paid large dividends to its stockholders in each of the past three years.
