    2. Analyze and discuss the statement of cash flows prepared in part 1, giving special attention to the wisdom of the cash dividend payment.

    The company's AR has increased while its AP has decreased. Effectively this means that it's financing its debtors, which is not very clever. In addition, its COGS for a whole year was only $250,000, but it has $273,750 in ending inventory, i.e. it's holding more than a year's sales in inventory. It has tied up much of its funds in inventory. It already does not have sufficient cash, thereby causing it to borrow via short- and long-term notes payable (and incurring interest expense) and yet it saw fit to pay a dividend. Not very clever is an understatement.
