Chapter 16: Statement of Cash Flows

Answer "Review Questions" 1-13, 15A on pages 869-870.

1. A cash flow statement reports on a business’s cash receipts and cash payments for a

specific period.

2. The statement of cash flows helps users of financial statements to predict future cash

flows, evaluate management, and predict ability to pay debts and dividends.

3. The three basic types of cash flow activities are operating activities, investing activities,

and financing activities. Operating activities create revenue or expense in the entity’s

business. Investing activities increase or decrease long-term assets. Financing activities

increase or decrease long-term liabilities and equity.

4. Investing and financing transactions that do not involve cash are called non-cash

investing and financing activities. Examples of these non-cash investing and financing

activities include issuing stock in exchange for plant assets, retirement of debt by issuing

stock, or purchasing plant assets with long-term notes payable.

5. The two formats for reporting operating activities on the statement of cash flows are the

indirect and direct methods. The indirect method starts with net income and adjusts it to

net cash provided by operating activities. The direct method restates the income

statement in terms of cash. It shows all the cash receipts and cash payments from

operating activities.

6. The five steps used to prepare the statement of cash flows by the indirect method:

a. STEP 1: Complete the cash flows from operating activities section using net

income and adjusting for increases or decreases in current assets (other than cash)

and current liabilities. Also, adjust for gains or losses on long-term assets and

non-cash expenses such as depreciation expense.

b. STEP 2: Complete the cash flows from investing activities section by reviewing

the long-term assets section of the balance sheet.

c. STEP 3: Complete the cash flows from financing activities section by reviewing

the long-term liabilities and equity sections of the balance sheet.

d. STEP 4: Compute the net increase or decrease in cash during the year. The

change in cash is the key reconciling figure for the statement of cash flows and

must match the change in cash reported on the comparative balance sheet.

e. STEP 5: Prepare a separate schedule reporting any non-cash investing and

financing activities.

7. Depreciation expense, depletion expense, and amortization expense all impact the income

statement decreasing net income. These expenses do not affect cash. The cash outflow

related to these expenses occur when the asset is purchased. Therefore, to go from net

income to cash flows, depreciation must be removed by adding it back to net income.

8. A loss on disposal of long-term assets would be removed from net income on the

statement of cash flows so the total cash receipts from the sale of the asset can be shown

in the investing activities section.

9. An increase in a current asset other than cash causes a decrease adjustment to net income.

10. An increase in current liabilities causes an increase adjustment to net income.

11. Long-term asset accounts must be evaluated when completing the investing activities

section of the statement of cash flows.

12. Long-term liability accounts and equity accounts must be evaluated when completing the

financing activities section of the statement of cash flows.

13. The net change in cash section of the statement of cash flows should always reconcile

with the statement of cash flows.

15A. In the indirect method, we start with accrual basis net income and then adjunct it to cash

basis through a series of adjusting items. When using the direct method, we take each line

item of the income statement and convert it from accrual to cash basis.
