Change in net working capital of W. company

Change in NWC between 2016 and 2017:

The cash flow statement of W. company

= net investing flow (4) 80 0

Exercise 2:

Operational cash flow: 451


Investment: -1670+400=-1270
1. FCF= Operating CF + Investing CF=451-1270=-819
2. a. Financial CF= 1,945-250=1,695
Net increase in cash: 1,695-819=876
b. Financial cash flow=500-50=450
Net increase in cash: 450-819=-369

Exercise 3:

1. Negative
Prepaid Insurance is a current asset. An increase in any asset account balance (other
than Cash) is assumed to have used Cash or decreased Cash. Both of these are considered to
have a negative effect on Cash.

2
[Because Prepaid Insurance is a current asset, the decrease in Cash appears in the
operating activities section of the statement of cash flows.]

2. Positive
Equipment is a long-term asset. A decrease in any asset account (other than Cash) is
assumed to be a source of Cash, provided Cash, or increased Cash. All of these
are positive effects on Cash.

[The entire proceeds from the sale of the equipment will be shown in the investing activities
section of the statement of cash flows.]

3. Positive

The Loss on the Sale of Equipment caused a decrease to the net income amount on the
income statement. However, there was no decrease in Cash for this loss. Therefore, we need
to add back (show an increase) to the net income amount appearing in the operating activities
section

4. Positive
Income Taxes Payable is a current liability. An increase in any liability account (or in
stockholders' equity) is assumed to increase Cash or at least be favorable from a Cash point
of view. If Income Taxes Payable increased, the company did not pay the entire amount
of Income Tax Expense shown on the income statement. Since the starting point in
the operating activities section is net income, you add back the increase in Income Taxes
Payable.

5. Negative
Accounts Receivable is a current asset. An increase in any asset (other than Cash) is
assumed to have a negative effect on Cash. The change in Cash is the OPPOSITE sign of the
change in the other ASSET'S balance.

[Because Accounts Receivable is a current asset, the change appears in the operating
activities section.]

6. Positive
The change in Cash will be the SAME direction as the change in the balance of a
LIABILITY account. In this case the Warranty Liability balance increased, so the effect
on Cash shown on the statement of cash flows is also a positive amount.

[Because Warranty Liability is a current liability, the change will appear in the operating
activities section.]

7. Negative
Dividends do decrease the company's Cash, which is a negative effect on Cash.
[Because dividends affect a stockholders' equity account, dividends will be shown in
the financing activities section as a negative amount.]
3
8. Positive
The proceeds received by the company for the new stock being issued will increase the
company's Cash, a positive effect on Cash.
[Because the transaction involves stockholders' equity, the amount will appear in
the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows.]

9. Negative
The Gain on Sale of Equipment was an increase to the net income on the income statement.
On the statement of cash flows we need to subtract the gain from the net income so that only
the cash from operating activities appears in the operating activities section. This subtraction
or decrease will also prevent the double counting of the gain, since the entire proceeds from
the sale are reported in the investing activities section.
