The company indicates a positive cash flow of $ 14 after all its operations for the current year. The operating cash flow was $24, investing cash flow was -$13 while financing cash flow was $3.

Additionally, the organization focuses on increasing its capital requirement through the issue of shares and long-term bonds that formed the principal source of its finances during the year 2014.

Therefore, the firm should plan on how to use the free cash flow appropriately. For instance, the management could decide to reinvest some portion of the money while keeping the rest for any financial emergency.

For example, all the ratios are more than one; meaning that they are all desirable. Notably, the company also made an increase in the ratio in the year 2014. Initially, the ratio was 1.88 in 2013 but it rose to 2.28 in the year 2014. Therefore, the company had increased operations in the year 2014 as compared to the year 20...
