Explanation of Solution

Working notes:

Calculate the amount of cash received from customers:

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash received }\\ \text{from customers}\end{array}\right)=\left[\text{Sales}\text{revenue }\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accounts Receivable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Accounts Receivable}\end{array}\right)\right]\\ =\left(\text{Sales}\text{revenue + Decrease in Accounts Receivable}\right)\\ =\left(\$511,000+\$11,760\right)\\ =\$522,760\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash paid for merchandise:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash paid for merchandise}=\left[\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of Goods Sold}\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in Accounts Payable}\\ \text{/Increase in Inventory}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in Accounts Payable}\\ \text{ /Decrease in Inventory}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ =\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of goods sold }\\ \text{+ Decrease in} \text{Accounts Payable }\\ +\text{Increase in Inventory}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$290,500+\$7,980+\$3,920\\ =\$302,400\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash paid for operating expenses:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash paid for }\\ \text{operating expenses}\end{array}\}=\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{Operating expenses other than depreciation}\\ \left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in accrued expense payable}\\ \text{Increase in prepaid expenses}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in accrued expense}\text{tax payable}\\ \text{Decrease in prepaid expenses}\end{array}\right)\end{array}\right]\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Operating expenses other than depreciation}\\ -\text{ Increase in accrued expense payable}-\\ \text{Decrease in prepaid expenses}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$105,000-\$1,260-\$3,780\right)\\ =\$99,960\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of cash payments for income taxes.

$\begin{array}{c}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash payments for}\\ \text{ income taxes}\end{array}\right)=\left[\text{Income tax expense }\left(\begin{array}{l}+\text{Decrease in income tax payable}\\ \text{OR}\\ -\text{Increase in income tax payable}\end{array}\right)\right]\\ =\left(\text{Income tax expense}\text{+ Decrease in income tax payable}\right)\\ =\left(\$21,700+\$2,660\right)\\ =\$24,360\end{array}$

Conclusion

Therefore, the net cash provided by operating activities under direct method is $96,040.

b.

To determine

To Explain: The Company’s cash flows from operating activities under direct method.

Explanation of Solution

In the direct method shows all the cash receipts (inflows) and payments (outflows) directly.  Cash received from operating activities is determined by deducting the cash payments from cash receipts. The individual cash receipts and payments are reported in the Cash Flows from Operating Activities section.

In the indirect method, adjusts the accrual basis net income for revenues and expenses. Thus, it does not involve the cash receipt or cash payment to arrive at cash flows from

Operating activities.
