Balance 12/31 223,000

1) Based on Panjim's 2005 cash T-account, which one of the following statements must be true?
A. Panjim did not record any tax expense for 2005
B. During 2005, Panjim's total merchandise sales were $60,000
C. During 2005, Panjim issued $75,000 of debt
D. During 2005, Panjim's total merchandise purchases were $44,000

My answer: C because out of all of the answers listed only the $75,000 worth of debt is mentioned in the Cash T-account (above) for 2005.

2)Panjim began 2005 with salaries payable balance of $75,000. It had 2005 salary expense of
$80,000. Its 2005 ending salaries payable balance must be:
A. $55,000
B. $105,000
C. $95,000
D. $155,000

My answer: A because Panjim began 2005 with a salaries payable balance of $75,000 and they added a salary expense of $80,000 for in the middle of 2005 so you would add those two number to yield a total of $155,000. The cash T account listed above states that $100k of salaries were paid in 2005 so your equation would be $155,000- $100,000 = $55,000. Is this correct?

3) Panjim's 2005 cash flow from operations is:
A. A net inflow of $85,000
B. A net outflow of $90,000
C. A net inflow of $90,000
D. A net outflow of $85,000

***My answer: D because Cash flow from operating = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes


4) Panjim recorded an interest expense of $6,000 for 2005. Which one of the following line
items would be included in the operating section of the Panjim's 2005 indirect method
statement of cash flows?
A. Add increase in interest payable... $6,000
B. Add increase in interest payable... $1,000
C. Subtract increase in interest payable... ($1,000)
D. Subtract decrease in interest payable... ($5,000)

My answer: A because the interest expense will be adjusted to a cash amount through the changes to the working capital amounts, which are also reported as part of the operating activities. In addition, the actual amount of interest paid must be disclosed. It wouldn't be a subtraction of interest payable because you must add interest payable with the indirect method.

is the answer to number 2 correct? My thought was that it should be (c) 95k.

100k+75k -80k = 95k

For question #4, my thought is that it is "C".

I assume that the indirect is the net chance in cash, not the actual cash flow. Because the interest payment was only 5k in the t-account and they had a 6k expense, 1 is still owed. The t-account will not show the 1k because it only covers the slow of $$. The indirect will show that it is owed.

Is my logic correct?

100k+75k -80k = 95k

Was wrong. Thinking it was in fact 55

For question number 2 you start with your salaries payable amount plus your salaries expense amount to get total salaries payable minus your cash payments for salaries equals your salaries payable balance.

Cash Out Flow: Operations.

I believe the out flow would be $90,000. It Doesn't look like you've included prepaid expense under operations.

If I am incorrect- someone please assist.
