Required:
Compute net cash provided by operating activities. (Show amounts that decrease cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)

Answer:

Net operating cash flow   $68,300

Explanation:

Operating cash flow is the amount of cash generated by a company from its main and normal business activity. This cash flow is useful to gauge the financial viability of a firm's business activity; the larger the better.

It is essentially computed as the net movement of cash inflow and outflow in respect of a business activities.

It is computed as follows:                          

                                                                  $

Net income                                              49,000

Add deprecation                                      17,200

Less increase in receivable                    (11.200)

add increase in payables                         13,300

Net operating cash flow                           68,300

Note that only items that relate to trading which is the core business area of the Pearl Corporation are considered. Depreciation is  added because it is a non-cash item initially deducted from net income.

An increase in receivable means a reduction in cash while an increase in payables implies cash savings

Because testing of nuclear bombs was halted internationally in 1992, the Department of Energy has developed a laser system that allows engineers to simulate (in a laboratory) conditions in a thermo-nuclear reaction. Due to soaring cost overruns, a congressional committee undertook an investigation and discovered that the estimated development cost of the project increased at an average rate of 2% per six-months over a 5-year period. If the original cost was estimated to be $3.1 billion 5 years ago, what is the expected cost today?

The Board of Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised its tuition and fees 17.6 percent to $23,460 in 2000. It subsequently received 200 more applications than the year before. The president of the college surmised that "applicants had apparently concluded that if the college cost more, it must be better." Other colleges that raised tuition to match rival colleges in recent years include University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond. They also experienced an increase in applications. In contrast, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees about 10 years ago by 22 percent and attracted fewer students. The college president concluded that "it didn't work out the way it had been hoped. People don't want cheap."

You are hired as a consultant to a President of a liberal arts college in the East. You are asked to evaluate a recommendation by the college's Admissions Director. Susan Hansen, to increase tuition and to reduce financial aid to students. Susan argues that the data from competing colleges suggest that the demand curves for colleges slope upward-the quantity demanded increases with price. Susan projects that the increase in tuition and reduction in financial aid will solve the school's financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid), totaling $6,000,000. She projects that with the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000, the college will be able to enroll 600 new students (of equal or better quality), totaling $15,000,000.

Evaluate Susan's analysis and recommendation

2. A welder and a carpenter decided to get out of the construction industry and build farm trailers instead. From building a few trailers on weekends, they estimated that the first trailer would take about $700 of their own labor to build and that an 85 percent learning rate can be anticipated on the cumulative average time as each trailer is built. (Note: They decided that their hourly wages should be no less than those they received in the construction trades.) The material costs for each trailer will be about $500, and the craftsmen do not see any way that this can be reduced. They estimate that each trailer can be sold for $1,000. In addition to making their wages on labor, they want to make 15 percent profit on the trailer materials. How many trailers must be built before this rate of profit can be realized
