Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

EBIT:

= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation expense

= $42,900 - $26,800 - $1,900

= $14,200

Operating cash flow:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

= $14,200 + $1,900 - [($14,200 - $1,300) × 0.34]

= $16,100 - $4,386

= $11,714

Capital spending:

= Ending net fixed assets - Beginning net fixed assets + depreciation

= $13,900 - $14,300 + $1,900

= $1,500

Additions to NWC:

= Ending NWC - Beginning NWC

= (9,200 - 7,400) - (8,700 - 6,600)

= $1,800 - $2,100

= -$300

Therefore, the cash flow from assets for Fiscal Year 2020 is as follows:

= Operating cash flow - Capital spending - Additions to NWC

= $11,714 - $1,500 - (-$300)

= $10,514
