In the first year, equity is not given. Therefore, we must calculate equity as a plug variable. Since
total liabilities & equity is equal to total assets, equity can be calculated as:
Equity = $241,794 89,040 52,854
Equity = $100,170

The owners equity for 2010 is the beginning of year owners equity, plus the addition to
retained earnings, plus the new equity, so:
Equity = $100,170 + 27,336 + 16,800
Equity = $144,306
3. Using the OCF equation:
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation Taxes
The OCF for each year is:
OCF2009 = $68,377 + 39,983 11,935
OCF2009 = $96,425
OCF2010 = $78,302 + 45,192 13,668
OCF2010 = $109,826
4. To calculate the cash flow from assets, we need to find the capital spending and change in net
working capital. The capital spending for the year was:
Capital spending

Answers to questions
1. The firm had positive earnings in an accounting sense (NI > 0) and had positive cash flow
from operations. The firm invested $19,792 in new net working capital and $82,976 in new
fixed assets. The firm gave $7,058 to its stakeholders. It raised $3,478 from bondholders, and
paid $10,536 to stockholders.
2. The expansion plans may be a little risky. The company does have a positive cash flow, but a
large portion of the operating cash flow is already going to capital spending. The company
has had to raise capital from creditors and stockholders for its current operations. So, the
expansion plans may be too aggressive at this time. On the other hand, companies do need
capital to grow. Before investing or loaning the company money, you would want to know
where the current capital spending is going, and why the company is spending so much in
this area already.
