Question: Computing investing and financing cash flows Preston Media Corporation had the following income statement and balance sheet for 2018:

PRESTON MEDIA CORPORATION

Income Statement

Year Ended December 31, 2018

Sales Revenue \(80,000

Depreciation Expense––Plant Assets \)11,000

Other Expenses \(50,000

Net Income \)19,000

1. Compute the acquisition of plant assets for Preston Media Corporation during 2018. The business sold no plant assets during the year. Assume the company paid cash for the acquisition of plant assets.

2. Compute the payment of a long-term note payable. During the year, the business issued a $4,400 note payable.

Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net income is only \(60,000. Also, two important overseas customers are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss’s accounts receivable are ballooning. The company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the best face on the company’s financial statements. Moss’s bank closely examines cash flow from operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss’s controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the slow-paying clients as long-term. He explains to the board that removing the \)80,000 increase in accounts receivable from current assets will increase net cash provided by operations. This approach may help Moss get the loan.

Requirements

  1. Using only the amounts given, compute net cash provided by operations, both without and with the reclassification of the receivables. Which reporting makes Moss look better?
  2. Under what condition would the reclassification of the receivables be ethical? Unethical?
