Hey, I need help to check my answer for this accounting exercise - given the following:

The company's financial year is the calendar year. Certain costs (incl. wages, rents, and taxes) of 270000 total are paid out in the middle of each month.

The company's first financial year is, exceptionally, only six months of length (1.7.-31.12.). At the beginning of the first financial year, the company has taken out a loan of 9600000 total that has not been amortized. However, an interest of 5 % p.a. has been paid at the end of the financial year. The company has made an initial investment of 14400000 . Half of the investment has been paid during the previous financial year and the rest must be paid at the beginning of the second financial year. Nothing has been sold yet during the first financial year.

The revenues of the second financial year are estimated according to shipped (billed) quantities of 30000 units at a unit price of 400 per unit. The variable costs consist of purchasing the materials and are expected to be 228 per unit. At the end of the second financial year, 4800000 of the debt must be amortized and interest must be paid.

The company then specifies the plan for the second financial year. 40 % of the annual volumes are delivered during the first half of the year and 60 % during the second. Monthly volumes are constant during both phases and the customers are given one month for payments. The company purchases the materials for the second financial year in three equal installments. The first batch has arrived at the end of December, but the bill is not due until at the end of January. The next batches arrive at the beginning of May and September. In order for the business to run smoothly during the next year as well, the company purchases an additional batch of materials for 7500 units towards the end of December (20.12). Each batch is payable in 14 days.

Question 1:

A) Calculate the cash flow from investment activities of the entire first financial year.

B) Calculate the cash flow from investment activities of the entire first financial year.

C) Calculate the payments received from the customers during the first half of the second financial year (1.1.-30.6.).

E) Calculate the company's cash flow from operating activities during the first half of the second financial year (1.1.-30.6.).

F) Calculate the company's cash flow from investment activities during the first half of the second financial year(1.1.-30.6.).
