问题如下:
Golden Cumulus Corp., a commodities trading company, reported interest expense of $19 million and taxes of $6 million. Interest payable increased by $3 million, and taxes payable decreased by $4 million over the period. How much cash did the company pay for interest and taxes?
选项:
A.$22 million for interest and $10 million for taxes.
B.$16 million for interest and $2 million for taxes.
C.$16 million for interest and $10 million for taxes.
解释:
C is correct.
Interest expense of $19 million less the increase in interest payable of $3 million equals interest paid of $16 million. Tax expense of $6 million plus the decrease in taxes payable of $4 million equals taxes paid of $10 million.
解析:直接代公式即可,都是现金流的流出所以我们都加上负号。- Interests paid= = - interest expense + ΔInterest payables= -19+3= -16。- Tax paid= - income tax expense + Δtax payables= -6+(-4)= -10。
本来税费6M,这个是支出的;但是后面税费降低了4M。
那理论上,税费应该是6-4。
即便按照现金流入或流出计算,也应该是-6+4=-2,为什么会这样?
然后同样前面的expense也不理解。
