Mary Walker, president of Rusco Company, considers $45,000 to be the minimum cash balance for operating purposes. As can be seen from the following statements, only $40,000 in cash was available at the end of 2015. 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.

Because the Cash account decreased so dramatically during 2015, the companys executive committee is anxious to see how the income statement would appear on a cash basis.

Required:

1.	Using the direct method, adjust the companys income statement for 2015 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 2015. (Cash outflows and amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
