[SOLVED] Refer to the financial statements for Rusco

Refer to the financial statements for Rusco Company in Problem 14â€“13. Because the Cash account decreased so dramatically during this year, the companyâ€™s executive committee is anxious to see how the income statement would appear on a cash basis. Data given in Exercise 14-13: Mary Walker, president of Rusco Company, considers $14,000 to be the minimum cash balance for operating purposes. As can be seen from the following statements, only $8,000 in cash was available at the end of this year. 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.

The following additional information is available for this year. a. The company declared and paid a cash dividend. b. Equipment was sold during the year for $8,000. The equipment originally cost $20,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $10,000. c. Long-term investments that cost $20,000 were sold during the year for $30,000. d. The company did not retire any bonds payable or repurchase any of its common stock. Required: 1. Using the direct method, adjust the companyâ€™s income statement for this year to a cash basis. 2. Using the data from (1) above, and other data from the problem as needed, prepare a statement of cash flows for this year. 3. Briefly explain the major reasons for the sharp decline in cash during this year.
