FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Assignment
Investing activities:
Decrease in investments 10,000
Increase in plant and equipment (600,000)
Cash used in investing activities (590,000)
Financing activities:
Increase in bonds payable 60,000
Preferred stock dividends paid (10,000)
Common stock dividends paid (140,000)
Cash used in financing activities (90,000)
Net increase (decrease) in cash 20,000
Additional Question:
A. Describe the general relationship between net income and net cash flows from operating activities
for the firm.
The net cash flow given by the operating activities exceeds the net income by P450,000. This occurs
because we add back depreciation of P230,000, and AP increases by P250,000. Therefore, the net cash
flow statement reader gets an essential overview as to how much cash flow was developed from its
daily operations.
B. Has the buildup in plant and equipment been financed in a satisfactory manner? Briefly discuss.
The buildup in plant and equipment of P600,000 and P370,000 has been financed, in part, by the
significant increase in accounts payable (P250,000). This is not a good situation. Short-term sources of
funds can always dry up, while capital asset needs are permanent. Therefore, the firm may wish to
consider more long-term financing, such as a mortgage, to go along with their profits, the increase in
bonds payable, and the add-back of depreciation.
C. Compute the book value per common share both 20X0 and 20X1.
D. If the market value of a share of common stock is 2.8 times book value for 20X1, what is the firm’s
P/E ratio for 20X1? (Round of to the nearest whole).
