Solution

To calculate the Cash Flow From Assets (CFFA), we need to find out the Operating Cash Flow (OCF), change in Net Working Capital (NWC) and Capital Spending (CapSpending).

  1. Operating Cash Flow (OCF): It is calculated as EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes. From the given data, EBIT is 2,600,Depreciationis2,600, Depreciation is 4,150 and Taxes are 296.So,OCF=296. So, OCF = 2,600 + 4,1504,150 - 296 = $6,454.

  2. Change in Net Working Capital (NWC): It is calculated as the difference in current assets and current liabilities from year 2022 to 2023. Current assets in 2023 are 6,930andin2022are6,930 and in 2022 are 3,800. Current liabilities in 2023 are 3,150andin2022are3,150 and in 2022 are 2,700. So, Change in NWC = (6,9306,930 - 3,800) - (3,1503,150 - 2,700) = 3,1303,130 - 450 = $2,680.

  3. Capital Spending (CapSpending): It is calculated as the difference in net fixed assets from year 2022 to 2023. Net fixed assets in 2023 are 26,800andin2022are26,800 and in 2022 are 23,650. So, CapSpending = 26,80026,800 - 23,650 = $3,150.

Finally, Cash Flow From Assets (CFFA) is calculated as OCF - Change in NWC - CapSpending. So, CFFA = 6,4546,454 - 2,680 - 3,150=3,150 = 624.

The CFFA of $624 indicates that the company has generated a positive cash flow from its assets in the year 2023. This means that the company's assets have been effectively used to generate more cash than the cash invested in them. This is a positive sign for the company as it indicates good financial health.
