The following three independent sets of facts relate to contingent liabilities:

(1) in november of the current year, an automobile manufacturing company recalled all pickup trucks manufactured during the past two years. a flaw in the battery cable was discovered and the recall provides for replacement of the defective cables. the estimated cost of this recall is $2.3 million.
(2) the epa has notified a company of violations of environmental laws relating to hazardous waste. these actions seek cleanup costs, penalties, and damages to property. the company is reasonably certain there will be cost associated with the cleanup, but cannot estimate the amount. the cleanup cost could be as high as $4,030,000 or as little as $530,000 and insurance could reimburse all or part of the cost. there is no way to more accurately estimate the cost to the company at this time. (3) holland company does not carry property damage insurance because of the cost. the company has suffered substantial losses each of the past three years. however, it has had no losses for the current year. management thinks this is too good to be true and is sure there will be significant losses in the coming year. however, the exact amount cannot be determined.

You have just been hired as a financial analyst for barrington industries. unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. so, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. the firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. it earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $800,000 in dividends to common shareholders. throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.5 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. you have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 6% interest rate. what was the firm's end- of-year cash balance? recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer
