Answer 1

A. Total operating expenses = Revenue - net income = 121,251,500-9,700,120 = 111,551,380

B. Total Cash expenses = operating expenses - depreciation = 111,551,380 - 4,041,717 = 107,509,663

C. Cash flow from operating = net income + non cash expenses + changes in working capital

CF = 9,700,120 + 4,041,717 = 13,741,837

D. New depreciation = 8,083,434

CF = 9700120+8083434= 17,783,554

E. Net income = 9700120*(1-0.2) = 7,760,096

Cash flow = 7760096+4041717=11,801,813

F. New depreciation = 8083434

CF = 7760096+8083434= 15,843,530
