Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Net Working Capital for 2014 is 8,752 - 6,862 = 1,890
Net Working Capital for 2013 is 10,083 - 6,486 = 3,597
Decrease in Net Working Capital (NWC) = 1,890 - 3,597= -1,707
Assuming that Operating Cash Flows (OCF) are 7,155, Net Capital Spending (NCS) is 2,372, and Decrease in Net Working Capital is -1,707, we get:
Cash Flow from Assets = OCF - NCS  Decrease in NWC = 7,155 - 2,372 - (-1,707) = 6,490.
