Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Requirement 1: Cash dividends are $35,000

Requirement 2: Cash receipt from sale of plan assets is $7,000

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of cash dividends

Dividends = Beginning retained earnings + Net income – Net Loss – Ending retained earnings

= $45,000 + $60,000 – $70,000

= $35,000

02

Calculation of the amount of the cash receipt from the sale of plant assets

Cash Received = Cost – Accumulated depreciation + Gain

= $29,000 – $27,000 + $5,000

= $7,000

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?
