b. Equipment was sold during the year for $44,800. The equipment had originally cost $92,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $41,000.
c. Long-term investments that had cost $32,000 were sold during the year for $52,500.
d. The company did not retire any bonds payable or repurchase any of its common stock.

Required:
1.

Using the indirect method, compute the net cash for operating activities for 2014. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

3.

Compute free cash flow for 2014. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Mary Walker, president of Rusco Company, considers $21,000 to be the minimum cash balance for operating purposes. As can be seen from the following statements, only $16,000in cash was available at the end of 2014. Since the company reported a large net income for the year, and also issued both bonds and common stock, the sharp decline in cash is puzzling to Ms. Walker.
