Holden Company’s fixed asset footnote included the following: - During 20X7, Holden sold machinery for a gain of $100,000. The machinery had an original cost of $500,000 and its accumulated depreciation was $240,000.
- At the end of 20X7, Holden purchased machinery at a cost of $1,000,000. Holden paid $400,000 cash. The balance was financed by the seller at 8% interest.
- Depreciation expense was $2,080,000 for the year ended 20X7.
Calculate Holden’s cash flow from investing activities for the year ended 20X7. A) $360,000 inflow. B) $40,000 outflow. C) $300,000 outflow. Correct answer is B) Given the gain of $100,000 and book value of the machinery sold of $260,000 ($500,000 original cost – $240,000 accumulated depreciation), the proceeds from the sale of the machinery were $360,000 ($100,000 gain + $260,000 book value). For 20X7, CFI was an outflow of $40,000 ($360,000 sale proceeds – $400,000 machinery purchase). The $600,000 financed by the seller is a non-cash transaction and is reported in the notes to the cash flow statement. |
