4. Question :
For this question, use the information for Sports Baseballs,
Inc. Sports Baseballs, Inc. is a corporation that manufacturers
and sells baseballs across several states in the Southeast. It
had sales of $2.7 million during the last year. Expenses were
as follows:
Cost of goods sold............................... $1.2 million
Administrative expenses........................ $250,000
Marketing and selling expenses............... $175,000
Depreciation........................................ $500,000
Interest expense.................................. $200,000
Dividends paid..................................... $150,000
(TCO 1) Assuming a tax rate of 30%, the percentage of
dividends per net income is approximately ______ and
operating cash flow is _________ than net income.
Hint: You need to calculate the net income and divide
dividends by the net income.
30% and lower
60% and lower
30% and higher
60% and higher
Answer: Dividends / net income = $150,000/$262,500 = 57.14%
Net Income = Taxable Income – Taxes = $375,000 - $112,500 = $262,500

3. Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes
EBIT = $2,700,000 – ($1,200,000+250,000+175,000+500,000) = $575,000
Taxable Income = EBIT – Interest = $575,000 - $200,000 = $375,000
Taxes = $375,000 x 30% = $112,500
Operating Cash Flow = $575,000 + $500,000 - $112,500 = $962,500
