Review Questions
1. What does the statement of cash flows report?
The statement of cash flows reports on a business’s cash receipts and cash payments for a specific
period.
2. How does the statement of cash flows help users of financial statements?
The three basic types of cash flow activities are: operating, investing, and financing. Operating
activities are ones that create revenue or expenses in the entity’s business. Investing activities
increase or decrease long-term assets. Financing activities include cash inflows and outflows
involved with long-term liabilities and equity.
4. What types of transactions are reported in the non-cash investing and financing activities section of
the statement of cash flows?
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. Describe the two formats for reporting operating activities on the statement of cash flows.
The two formats for reporting the operating activities section 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.
The five steps used to prepare the statement of cash flows by the indirect method are:
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.
STEP 2: Complete the cash flows from investing activities section by reviewing the long-term
assets section of the balance sheet.
STEP 3: Complete the cash flows from financing activities section by reviewing the long-term
liabilities and equity sections of the balance sheet.
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.
STEP 5: Prepare a separate schedule reporting any non-cash investing and financing activities.
7. Explain why depreciation expense, depletion expense, and amortization expense are added to net
income in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows when using the indirect
method.
Depreciation expense, depletion expense, and amortization expense all impact the income statement
decreasing net income. None of these use cash at the time they are expensed, these expenses
occurred when the asset was purchased. Therefore, to go from net income to cash flows, depreciation
must be removed by adding it back to net income.
8. Explain why depreciation expense, depletion expense, and amortization expense are added to net
income in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows when using the indirect
method.
Depreciation expense, depletion expense, and amortization expense all impact the income statement
decreasing net income. None of these use cash at the time they are expensed, these expenses
occurred when the asset was purchased. Therefore, to go from net income to cash flows, depreciation
must be removed by adding it back to net income.
9. If a company experienced a loss on disposal of long-term assets, how would this be reported in the
operating activities section of the statement of cash flows when using the indirect method? Why?
A loss on disposal of long-term assets would be removed from the net income on the statement of
cash flows by adding it back in the operating section. The loss was originally included in net income,
but the cash from the sale needs to be shown in the investing section of the statement of cash flows.
10. If current assets other than cash increase, what is the effect on cash? What about a decrease in
current assets other than cash?
An increase in a current asset other than cash causes a decrease adjustment to net income in the
operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. A decrease in a current asset other than
cash causes an increase adjustment to net income.
An increase in current liabilities causes an increase adjustment to net income in the operating
activities section of the statement of cash flows. A decrease in current liabilities causes a decrease
adjustment to net income.
12. What accounts on the balance sheet must be evaluated when completing the investing activities
section of the statement of cash flows?
The long-term asset accounts must be evaluated when completing the investing activities section of
the statement of cash flows.
13. What accounts on the balance sheet must be evaluated when completing the financing activities
section of the statement of cash flows?
The long-term liability accounts and the equity accounts must be evaluated when completing the
financing activities section of the statement of cash flows.
14. What should the net change in cash section of the statement of cash flows always reconcile with?
The net change in the cash section of the statement of cash flows reconciles the statement of cash
flows. It is computed by combining the cash provided for or used by operating, investing, and
financing activities. This amount should equal the change in cash on the balance sheet.
Free cash flow is the amount of cash available from operating activities after paying for planned
investments in long-term assets and after paying dividends to shareholders. It is calculated as: Net
cash provided by operating activities – Cash planned for investments in long-term assets – Cash
dividends.
15A. How does the direct method differ from the indirect method when preparing the operating
activities section of the statement of cash flows?
In the indirect method, start with net income and then adjust it to cash basis through a series of
adjusting items. When calculating the direct method, take each line item of the income statement and
convert it from accrual to cash basis.
16B. Why might a spreadsheet be helpful when completing the statement of cash flows?
Companies face complex situations, and a spreadsheet can help in preparing the cash flow statement.
It details the balance sheet accounts’ beginning and ending balances as well as the debit and credit
amounts to each account.

It will also be helpful if you review Amazon.com, Inc.’s 2015 annual report
(http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97664&p=irol-reportsAnnual).
Amazon.com, Inc. serves its customers through its retail Web sites, selling millions of unique products.
In addition, the company manufactures and sells electronic devices including Kindle e-readers and Fire
tablets. Amazon.com also offers Amazon Prime, a membership program that includes unlimited free
shipping on items and access to unlimited streaming of movies and TV episodes.
Requirements
1. Review Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations) included in the 2015 Annual Report. What does Amazon.com, Inc. state is the
company’s financial focus? What are free cash flows and how does Amazon.com plan to
increase its free cash flows?
2. Review the statement of cash flows for Amazon.com, Inc. What type of noncash adjustments to
net income did Amazon.com report in 2015?
3. Review the 2015 statement of cash flows for Amazon.com, Inc. What was the net cash provided
(used) for investing activities? What were the cash inflows and outflows related to this section?
4. Review the 2015 statement of cash flows for Amazon.com, Inc. What was the net cash provided
(used) for financing activities? What were the cash inflows and outflows related to this section?
SOLUTION
Requirement 1
Amazon.com, Inc. states their financial focus is on long-term, sustainable growth in free cash flows per
share. Free cash flows are the amount of cash available from operating activities after paying for
planned investments in long-term assets and dividends. Amazon.com plans to increase its free cash
flows by increasing operating income and efficiently managing working capital and cash capital
expenditures.
Requirement 2
Amazon.com reported the following noncash adjustments to net income: depreciation, stock-based
compensation, other operating expense (income), losses (gains) on sales of marketable securities, other
expense (income), deferred income taxes, and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

outflows:
Theater by Design and Show Cinemas are asking you to recommend their stock to your clients. Because
Theater by Design and Show Cinemas earn about the same net income and have similar financial
positions, your decision depends on their statement of cash flows, summarized as follows:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities $ 30,000 $ 70,000
Cash Provided by (Used for) Investing
Activities:
Purchase of Plant Assets $ (20,000) $ (100,000)

Activities:
Issuance of Common Stock 0 30,000
Payment of Long-term Debt (40,000) 0
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash $ 10,000 $ 10,000
Based on their cash flows, which company looks better? Give your reasons.
SOLUTION
Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net income is only $60,000. Also, two important overseas customers
are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss’s accounts receivable are ballooning. The
company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the
best face on the company’s financial statements. Moss’s bank closely examines cash flow from
operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss’s controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the
slow-paying clients as long-term. He explains to the board that removing the $80,000 increase in
accounts receivable from current assets will increase net cash provided by operations. This approach
may help Moss get the loan.
Requirements
1. Using only the amounts given, compute net cash provided by operations, both without and with the
reclassification of the receivables. Which reporting makes Moss look better?
2. Under what condition would the reclassification of the receivables be ethical? Unethical?
SOLUTION
Requirement 1
Without With
Reclassification Reclassification
Net Income $ 60,000 $60,000
Increase in Accounts Receivable (80,000) 0
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities $(20,000) $60,000
Moss Exports looks better with the reclassification of the Accounts Receivable from current assets to
long-term.
Requirement 2
The reclassification would be unethical because it would be misleading on both the Statement of Cash
Flows and on the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on the Balance Sheet. Also if the terms of the
agreement require the customer to pay within a short period of time, the assets would still be classified
as short-term. One way to make the situation ethical would be to work with the clients and convert their
accounts receivable into a note receivable with longer payment terms.
Details about a company’s cash flows appear in a number of places in the annual report. Use Target
Corporation’s Fiscal 2015 Annual Report to answer the following questions. Visit
http://www.pearsonhighered.com/Horngren to view a link to Target Corporation’s Fiscal 2015
Annual Report.
Requirements
1. Which method does Target use to report net cash flows from operating activities? How can you tell?
2. Target earned net income during 2015. Did operations provide cash or use cash during 2015? Give

income in 2015?
3. For the year ended January 30, 2016 (fiscal year 2015), did Target pay cash dividends? If so, how
much?
4. For the year ended January 30, 2016, did Target use cash to purchase property, plant, and equipment?
