QUESTIONS
1. The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to summarize an entitys cash flows
from operating, investing, and financing activities during a period. Because it is
concerned with activity for a specific period of time, the statement is similar to the
income statement. However, they differ in two important respects. First, with a few
exceptions, the income statement deals only with operating activities. Second, the
income statement is on an accrual basis, while the statement of cash flows reports
operating activities on a cash basis.
2. A cash equivalent is an item that is readily convertible to a known amount of cash
and has an original maturity of three months or less. These items, such as Treasury
bills and money market funds, present very little risk to the holder, and therefore they
are included with cash for the purpose of preparing the statement of cash flows. That
is, purchases and sales of cash equivalents are not considered significant activities
to be separately reported on the statement.
3. The down payment of $20,000 is a cash outflow that would be reported in the
investing activities section of the statement of cash flows. The issuance of the
promissory note for $60,000 would appear in a supplemental schedule of noncash
investing and financing activities.
4. A 60-day Treasury bill would be classified as a cash equivalent and combined with
cash on the balance sheet. Therefore, the purchase of the treasury bill would not be
reported as an investing activity. However, the purchase of Motorola stock would
appear as a cash outflow in the investing activities section of the statement of cash
flows.
5. Companies cannot continue in business if they do not generate positive cash flows
from operating activities. Also, over a period of years, a company cannot continue to
borrow more than it repays, nor can it issue capital stock indefinitely. Thus, you
would not expect a net cash outflow from financing activities over a sustained period
of time. However, many companies regularly experience a net cash outflow from
investing activities. A company must at a minimum replace existing assets and in
many cases acquire additional plant and equipment to remain competitive. At the
same time, disposals of long-term assets may be fairly common, but usually they will
not generate significant amounts of cash inflow.
6. The student is correct in that it is simple enough to find the net inflow or outflow of
cash during the period. But this is only the starting point in preparing the statement
of cash flows. First, all of the balance sheet accounts must be analyzed to find the
explanations for the increases and decreases in cash during the period. Second,
each of these inflows and outflows must be classified as either operating, investing,
or financing activities.
12-5
7. The only accurate part of this statement is that depreciation is often one of the
largest items in the Operating Activities section of the statement. However, this is
merely a result of using the indirect method to prepare this section. In computing net
income, depreciation is deducted. Therefore, under the indirect method it must be
added back to net income because it is a noncash expense. Depreciation does not
in any way generate cash.
8. There is considerable debate over which method is most useful. Many accountants,
as well as users of the statements, believe that the direct method, with its emphasis
on cash receipts and cash payments, provides the most information. Others believe
that the indirect method is better because it focuses attention on the differences
between net income and net cash provided by operations. Accounting standards
allow the use of either method, but companies are strongly encouraged to use the
direct method.
9. Under the indirect method, net income is reported at the top of the Operating
Activities section, and adjustments are made to convert income to a cash basis.
Sales revenue is included in net income. However, on a cash basis we are
interested in cash collections from sales, not the sales on an accrual basis. A
decrease in accounts receivable indicates that cash collections exceeded sales
revenue. Therefore, the excess is added back to the net income of the period.
10. Inventory is analyzed to determine the purchases of the period. Cost of goods sold
decreases the Inventory account, and purchases increases it. After the purchases of
the period are found, they are added to the beginning balance in the Accounts
Payable account. The difference between the addition of these amounts and the
ending balance in Accounts Payable is the amount of cash payments.
11. A profitable year does not guarantee a large cash balance at the end of the year. A
large share of the profits may be returned to the stockholders in the form of cash
dividends. Investments in new plant and equipment require significant amounts of
cash, as does the repayment of various forms of borrowing.
12. Yes, it is possible to report a net loss and still experience a net increase in cash.
First, a company could report large noncash charges against net income, such as
depreciation and various types of losses. Thus, it is possible that net cash provided
by operating activities is positive even though a net loss is reported. Second, the net
loss deals only with operating activities. It is possible that a net cash inflow was
provided by either investing or financing activities, or both.
13. Regardless of which method is used, a decrease in income taxes payable means
that cash paid to the government during the period exceeded income tax expense
on the income statement. Under the direct method, the amount of cash paid is
reported as a cash outflow in the Operating Activities section of the statement. If the
indirect method is used, the decrease in taxes payable is deducted from net income
to arrive at net cash flow from operations.
12-6
14. The requirement to separately disclose income taxes paid and interest paid when
the indirect method is used is a compromise. Accounting standards strongly
encourage companies to use the direct method because each major operating cash
receipt and payment is reported in the Operating Activities section of the statement.
However, if a company chooses to use the indirect approach, they are still required
to report separately how much cash was actually paid to the government in taxes
and to creditors in interest.
15. An argument can be made that it is inconsistent to report interest paid in the
operating section and dividends paid in the financing section. Both represent returns
to providers of capital: interest to creditors and dividends to stockholders.
Furthermore, the cash raised from each of these sourcesthe amounts borrowed
from creditors and the amounts contributed by stockholdersis classified as an
inflow in the financing section of the statement. The rationale normally given for this
treatment is that interest enters into the determination of net income, and thus the
cash expended in interest should appear in the operating section. Many believe that
this is illogical and that both interest paid and dividends paid belong in the financing
section.
16. An analysis of the Prepaid Rent account can be used to find the amount of cash paid
for rent:
Beginning Prepaid Rent
+ Cash payments
Rent Expense
= Ending Prepaid Rent
$ 9,600
X
45,900

12-7
Two items would be reported on a statement of cash flows using the indirect method.
First, the loss of $2,000 would be added back to net income in the operating
activities section. Second, the cash received of $9,000 would be reported as a cash
inflow in the investing activities section.
19. Since the company neither bought nor sold any patents during the year, the
decrease in the balance in the account of $4,000 represents the amortization of the
patent for the year. Amortization is a noncash expense, as is depreciation, and is
added back to net income under the indirect method.
20. A stock dividend does not involve the inflow or outflow of cash and therefore is not
reported on a statement of cash flows. It is questionable whether it is even a
significant noncash activity that should be reported in the supplemental schedule. It
could be argued that the issuance of stock in connection with a stock dividend is a
financing activity and that it should be included on the schedule. If a 10% stock
dividend is included on the schedule it would be reported at the market value of the
shares issued.
21. The information needed to determine a companys cash flow adequacy comes from
two sources. The numbers in the numerator of the ratio, net cash provided by
operating activities and capital expenditures, appear on the statement of cash flows.
The amount of average annual debt maturing over the next five years in the
denominator can be found in a note to the financial statements.

2. The $510,000 in cash paid to retire the bonds would be reported as a cash outflow in
the financing activities section. Assuming the company uses the indirect method, the
loss of $50,000 would be added back in the operating activities section.

2. The use of the direct method reveals the amounts collected from customers and the
amounts paid for inventory, interest, taxes, and other operating purposes. The
indirect method simply reconciles the net income of the period to the net cash flow
from operations. The direct method shows the reader of the statement the specific
amounts collected and paid for operating purposes.

2. The primary reason that net cash inflow from operating activities of $66,000 is more
than net income of $40,000 is depreciation of $20,000. It is deducted on the income
statement but it does not require the use of cash. Other reasons for the higher
amount of net cash inflow from operating activities are the decrease in inventory (the
company is not buying as much inventory) and the increase in accounts payable (the
company is slowing down payments to its creditors).

2. No, Chrisman did not generate enough cash from its operations to pay for its
investing activities. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to only $63,000,
while the company spent $100,000 to acquire plant and equipment. The additional
cash needed to finance the acquisition was raised by issuing a note for $10,000 and
issuing common stock for $50,000.

Although net income on an accrual basis was $225,000, net cash flow from
operating activities was only $172,000. One of the reasons is that cash collections
were only $1,200,000 even though sales were $1,250,000. Also, inventory was
increased by $30,000 during the period, and accounts payable was reduced by
$18,000. Similarly, taxes payable was reduced by $20,000, resulting in a further
drain on cash. Finally, two major acquisitions were made during the year: $200,000
was spent on new plant and equipment and another $150,000 to acquire new land.
These were only partially offset by the sale of additional stock for $150,000 and the
issuance of additional notes in the amount of $50,000. Finally, cash dividends
amounted to $60,000, a further drain on cash.
Our cash flow should improve in future years without the need to invest so
heavily in new property, plant, and equipment. We can also improve our operating
cash flow by accelerating the collection of receivables as much as possible.
Similarly, we should be able to reduce the amount of inventory on hand at any one
time and over the long run reduce the cash paid for inventory purchases.

Astro was able to generate a significant amount of cash from operations even
though we incurred the large net loss of $100,000. One reason for the difference
between cash generated from operations and the net loss was the large amount of
depreciation expense on the income statement. This noncash expense reduced
reported net income without a corresponding effect on cash flow. Furthermore, the
decrease in accounts receivable indicates that we collected more cash from our
customers during the year than the amount of sales to them. Finally, the combined
effect of a reduction in inventory and an increase in the amounts owed suppliers
(accounts payable) added to the cash generated.
Operating expenses need to be decreased relative to gross profit if we are to
improve our bottom line in the future. The gross profit percentage of 20% appears
reasonable, although this depends on many factors, including how our competitors
are doing in this area. A significant portion of the operating expenses is the
depreciation of $70,000. Because this represents the write-off of a sunk cost (the
cost of plant and equipment acquired already), we cannot reduce the amount of this
expense unless we decide to sell fixed assets. In fact, during 2007 we actually
added to our base of long-term assets. I recommend that we explore ways to reduce
our other operating expenses. I look forward to hearing from you before moving
forward with any actions.

differ in the information reported to the reader of the statement of cash flows. The
direct method shows the actual inflows and outflows of cash, while the indirect
method arrives at the same amount by reconciling net income to cash flow from

primarily because it had one very large expense that did not require the use of any
cash: depreciation of $50,000. This one adjustment is the major difference between

was the amount needed to repay an existing bank loan. The major reason, however,
for the drain on cash is the size of our dividend payments. Dividends of $350,000
were paid during the year, which is equal to the income of the period.
Our cash flow should improve in future years without the need to invest so
heavily in new property, plant, and equipment. At the same time, I recommend that
we limit the amount paid in any one year for dividends as a way to keep our cash
balance at a sufficient level to satisfy the bank.

during the year was used for various purposes. First, significant additions were
made to plant and equipment, $250,000, and this drain on cash was only partially
offset by the sale of land for $100,000. Additional stock was sold for $50,000, which
was the amount needed to repay an existing bank loan. The major reason, however,

during the year was used for various purposes. First, significant additions were
made to plant and equipment, $250,000, and this drain on cash was only partially
offset by the sale of land for $100,000. Additional stock was sold for $50,000, which
was the amount needed to repay an existing bank loan. The major reason, however,
for the drain on cash is the size of our dividend payments. Dividends of $350,000
were paid during the year, which is equal to the income of the period.
Our cash flow should improve in future years without the need to invest so
heavily in new property, plant, and equipment. At the same time, I recommend that
we limit the amount paid in any one year for dividends as a way to keep our cash
balance at a sufficient level to satisfy the bank.

from our customers during the year than the amount of sales to them. Finally, the
large buildup of our accounts payable by $40,000 had the effect of improving our
cash flow for the year.
The gross profit percentage of 57% is very strong. However, operating expenses
need to be decreased relative to gross profit if we are to improve our bottom line in
the future. A portion of the operating expenses is the depreciation of $40,000.
Because this represents the write-off of a sunk cost (the cost of plant and equipment
acquired already), we cannot reduce the amount of this expense unless we decide
to sell fixed assets. In fact, during 2007 we actually added $350,000 to our base of
long-term assets, in the form of land and plant and equipment acquisitions. You will
note on the statement of cash flows that these acquisitions were entirely financed
with the issuance of a long-term bank loan.
I recommend two immediate courses of action. First, we must find ways to
reduce our operating expenses. Second, until we see an improvement in the bottom
line, it is imperative that we cut back, if not eliminate entirely, our dividends. A
dividend payment of $84,000 in a year in which we sustained a net loss of $60,000
is not prudent. I look forward to hearing from you before moving forward with any
actions.

Common stock of $50,000 was issued, but this was more than offset by the
$100,000 needed to retire the bonds. The lack of cash from operations to cover
acquisitions, pay dividends, and retire the bonds are all responsible for the large
decrease in the companys cash balance at the end of the year.

D E C IS ION C AS E S
READING AND INTERPRETING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
LO 2,3
1. The second note in the report includes a section titled Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Cash equivalents include unrestricted cash accounts and highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
2. Life Time Fitness uses the indirect method to prepare the operating activities section
of its statement of cash flows. The first item on the statement is net income and then
various adjustments are made to reconcile this amount to the net cash provided by
operating activities.
3. Net income amounts to $28,908,000 and net cash provided by operating activities is
$80,431,000, resulting in a difference of $51,523,000. The largest adjustment to
reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities is depreciation and
amortization of $29,655,000. Depreciation and amortization are expenses that have
been deducted in the determination of net income. However, they do not decrease
the amount of cash and therefore they must be added back in reconciling net income
to net cash provided by operating activities.
4. A loss on disposing of property is added back for the same reason that depreciation
and amortization are added back. The loss is deducted to arrive at net income but
because it does not use any cash it is added back.
5. Changes in operating assets and liabilities is the last adjustment to reconcile net
income to net cash provided by operating activities. The various current assets and
liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable have a
different effect on net income than they do on cash. For example, a decrease in
accounts receivable for the period is an indication that a company collected more in
cash from its customers than in sales to them. Thus, a decrease in accounts
receivable requires an addition to net income to arrive at net cash provided by
operating activities. Life Time Fitness chooses to net all of these items in one
adjustment on its statement of cash flows.
LO 3
12-85
1. Purchases of property and equipment are the companys largest use of cash in the
investing activities section of the statement. Purchases increased by $156,674,000
$41,315,000, or $115,359,000, from the prior year. Purchases of additional land,
construction of new fitness centers and the addition of more fitness equipment are
all crucial to the companys strategy to grow its business.
2. Repayments on long-term borrowings are the largest use of cash in the financing
activities section of Life Time Fitnesss statement of cash flows. Repayments
increased by $68,986,000 $18,119,000, or $50,867,000, from the prior year.
3. Proceeds from borrowings and proceeds from an initial public offering are the two
largest sources of cash from financing activities. The former increased by
$44,853,000 $1,925,000, or $42,928,000. Because the initial public offering was in
2004, this amount increased by $80,398,000 $0, or $80,398,000. Purchases of
property and equipment require large amounts of cash and it can be seen that much
of the cash needed to grow the business came from borrowing and the initial public
offering of stock.
LO 7
1. Cash flow adequacy ratio: (Net cash provided by operations Capital expenditures)/
Average annual debt maturing over next five years
= ($80,431,000 $156,674,000)/($35,949,000 + $6,040,000 + $13,327,000 +
$6,251,000 + $8,853,000)/5)
= ($76,243)/$14,084
= (5.4)
2. The cash flow adequacy ratio gives the user an indication of whether or not the
company is generating sufficient cash from its operations to repay its debts, after
taking into consideration the need to make necessary expenditures on new plant
and equipment. The companys ratio is negative in 2004 because it invested large
amounts in property and equipment to open new fitness centers. These large
purchases are balanced by the stock issued to the public for the first time and longterm borrowings which were significantly larger than in the prior year. In both of the
two prior years the net cash provided by operating activities was larger than
purchases of property and equipment, resulting in positive cash flow adequacy ratios
in those years.

3. Bailey Corp. should be able to safely pay a cash dividend in 2008 of $250,000 (note
that there are now 250,000 shares of stock outstanding). The cash provided by
operating activities of $1,385,000 indicates that the company is generating a very
significant amount of cash from the business. Because the company invested
heavily in new plant and equipment during 2007, it should not need to reserve large
amounts of cash for capital expenditures in the near future. The profit margin of
12.75% indicates that management is doing a good job of controlling costs.
Bailey will need to pay $200,000 in 2008 to retire the short-term notes payable. In
assessing the companys cash needs in future years, it would be important to know
how soon any of the bonds payable will be due for retirement. Assuming that a large
portion of the bonds is not due to be retired in 2008, Bailey should have no problem
in paying its tenth annual dividend of $1 per share.

DECISION CASE 12-6 LOAN DECISION AND THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
INDIRECT METHOD
1. Mega reported the sale of the business by netting the gain against the cash
proceeds and thus reporting the book value of $300 million as an investing activity
inflow. This is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
which require that the actual amount of cash received from the sale of $450 million
be shown as an investing activity inflow. The gain of $150 million should have been
deducted from net income to arrive at cash flow from operations.
The net approach to reporting the transaction, as opposed to the correct
approach under GAAP, does not have an effect on the increase or decrease in cash
for the period. The issue involves the appropriate reporting and disclosure of the
transaction rather than the net change in cash for the period.

3. The controller has not acted ethically in this situation. The officer is aware that the
bank intends to rely on cash generated from operations for repayment of the loans.
As shown in 2. above, the netting of the sale transaction grossly overstates the cash
flow from operating activities and understates the cash flow from investing activities.
It appears that the controller intentionally misreported the transaction on the
statement of cash flows to influence the banks appraisal of the ability of Mega to
generate cash from its ongoing operations.
