Explanation:
A (€76,330) is the correct answer.
Here’s the key idea under the indirect method:
So:
Cash paid = Other operating expenses − decrease in prepaid insurance − increase in accrued payable
Cash paid = 80,050 − 2,200 − 1,520 = 76,330
A useful check: both adjustments reduce cash paid, so the answer must be less than €80,050.
Ultimate access to all questions.
The following information is available for a company that reports its cash flow using the indirect method:
| Year 2 (€) | Year 1 (€) | |
|---|---|---|
| Other operating expenses | 80,050 | 76,230 |
| Prepaid insurance expenses | 8,400 | 10,600 |
| Accrued utilities payable | 23,020 | 21,500 |
Insurance and utilities are the only two components of other operating expenses.
The cash the company paid in other operating expenses in Year 2 is:
A
€76,330.
B
€79,370.
C
