For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017

B. $892.1 million

Explanation:

The Revenue was $939,393 million

When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.

Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.

Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504

= $87,692 million

Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358

= $40,372 million

The Cash generated is therefore;

= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372

= $892,073

= $892.1 million
