(maximum 4 points out of 13) – Utilizing your adjusted numbers from 1)a. (above) re-compute Sunbeam’s operating cash flows for 1997 (i.e., compute a new cash flows amount based on your adjustments to the original data). Clearly label the components of your computations.c. (maximum 2 points out of 13) – Summarize your findings in 1)a. and 1)b. (above), paying particular attention to any evidence of fraud (be careful not to let 20-20 hindsight – i.e., information that you are aware of, but is not included in this case – influence your conclusions).
