ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. The statement of cash flows reports the cash receipts, cash payments, and net
change in cash resulting from the operating, investing, and financing activities of
a company during a period, in a format that reconciles the beginning and ending
cash balances.
The statement of cash flows is useful to all readers because it allows them to
assess the following aspects of a company’s financial position:
the reasons for the difference between net income and cash provided (used)
by operating activities
the cash generated by (used in) investing and financing transactions during
a period
the company’s ability to generate future cash flows
Creditors in particular, are concerned about the borrower’s ability to generate
cash to repay loans and service debt. The cash flow statement helps creditors
assess risk.

2. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash. Generally, only debt investments with
maturities of three months or less qualify under this definition. These would
include term deposits, guaranteed investment certificates and bank overdrafts.
Trading investments differ from cash equivalents in that they include those
investments that are readily marketable and are purchased with an intention to
generate short-term gains. In addition, trading investments are held for
investment purposes whereas cash equivalents are held for the purpose of
meeting short-term cash needs.
The statement of cash flows may be prepared using cash, or cash and cash
equivalents as its base. If the latter, cash equivalents must be clearly defined.

3. Operating activities include the cash flow activities arising from a company’s
principal revenue-producing activities and all other activities that are not
investing or financing activities.
Investing activities are those arising from the acquisition and disposal of non-
current assets.
4. Companies following ASPE classify interest paid, interest income, and dividend
income, as part of operating activities because they are disclosed on the
statement of income as part of net income. Dividend payments are classified as
financing activities. This is the most common practice for both publicly traded
and private companies. Companies following IFRS may classify interest and
dividend income as either investing activities or operating activities, and interest
and dividend payments as either financing activities or operating activities.
Companies select where these payments and receipts will be presented and must
apply the presentation consistently.

6. Although the approaches and format are different, both the direct and indirect
methods will produce the same net cash provided by operating activities.

(5) The statement of changes in equity will provide details of the changes in
the share capital and retained earnings accounts. From these, the cash
effects of financing transactions with shareholders, such as the issue or
repurchase of shares and/or payment of dividends, can be determined and
reported as financing activities on the statement of cash flows.

8. The indirect method involves converting accrual-based net income to net cash
provided by operating activities. This is done by starting with accrual-based net
income from the statement of income and adding or subtracting noncash items
included in net income. Examples of adjustments include adding back noncash
expenses, such as depreciation, and removing any noncash gains or losses from
net income. Then, changes in the balances of noncash current asset and current
liability accounts from one period to the next are added or subtracted.

9. A number of factors could have caused a positive amount of net cash provided
by operating activities in spite of the fact that Clearwater reported a net loss.
These include (1) a high amount of collection of deferred revenue; (2) large
amounts of depreciation or amortization; and (3) accounting losses or
impairments. The increase in deferred revenue is added as an inflow under
operating activities. Items (2) and (3) are non-cash items deducted in arriving at
net income (in this case a net loss) so they are now added back to net loss when
determining net cash flow provided by operating activities, thereby making it
positive.
LO 2,5 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: 5 min. AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting
10. Under the indirect method, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses
are added back to net income to reconcile net income to net cash provided by
operating activities because they are expenses that have reduced net income, but
do not result in the use of cash. Adding them back cancels the expenses reported
in the statement of income, as accrual net income is the starting point under the
indirect method.
11. The operating activities section of the statement of cash flows prepared using the
indirect method highlights trends in changes in working capital account balances.
For example, an increase in inventory with a decrease in accounts payable may
flag an issue with the inventory management. Increases in inventory should bring
about a corresponding increase in accounts payable. Another example would be
the increase in accounts receivable beyond the level of increase in sales which
might highlight poor management of collections from customers.
LO 2 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: 5 min. AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting
12. Under the indirect method, a gain on disposal of equipment is deducted from net
income to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities. A
gain is the difference between the cash proceeds received when the asset is sold
and the carrying amount of the asset. This gain is not a cash receipt or payment.
Therefore, the noncash gain, which was included in net income, must be
deducted from net income on the statement of cash flows to convert net income
to net cash provided by operating activities. The total cash proceeds received
when the asset is disposed of would be reported in the statement of cash flows as
an investing activity.

13. When a business invests money, it does so outside of its main revenue-generating
operations. It might have excess cash, which it wants to put to use in producing
some interest or dividend income. Since the intention is to earn a return on its
investment, the buying and selling of investments is generally reported as
investing activities in the statement of cash flows. The exception occurs when the
investments are held for trading purposes, in which case they are treated similarly
to inventory acquired for resale. These types of investments are reported as
operating activities.

14. The principal amount advanced by the bank and later repaid involves borrowing
and repayment transactions that need to be reported under financing activities in
the statement of cash flows. The timing of the loan principal repayments will
lead to a portion of the loan principal being classified as current liabilities. This
classification does not change the nature of the cash activity with the bank. Both
the current and non-current principal portions are treated together for cash flow
reporting purposes.

15. (a) Dividends declared reduce retained earnings once the declaration is made
by the board of directors. For the cash flow statement, only dividends paid
are reported in the financing activities section of the statement. Similar to
the adjustments made for the changes in working capital accounts in the
indirect format of the statement of cash flows, any increase or decrease in
the Dividends Payable account will adjust dividends declared (accrual
basis) to dividends paid (cash basis). For this example, the amount of the
increase of $2,000 ($10,000 - $8,000) in dividends payable will be
deducted from the amount of dividends declared of $40,000 to arrive at
cash paid for dividends of $38,000.
(b) My answer would change if the company had declared dividends in the
amount of $2,000. This amount corresponds to the increase in the
Dividends Payable account for the year. Consequently, no dividends would
have been paid during the year and no amount would appear in the
financing activities of the statement of cash flows.

16. The statement of cash flows is prepared from detailed information about the
changes in account balances that occurred between two periods of time, as shown
on the other financial statements. Unlike the other financial statements, it is not
prepared from an adjusted trial balance. In particular, the information to prepare
the statement of cash flows comes from a comparative statement of financial
position, the statement of income, the statement of changes in equity, and
additional information concerning specific transactions such as disposals of
property, plant, and equipment.

17. (a) The corporate life cycle consists of four phases: introductory, growth,
maturity, and decline.
(b) In the introductory and growth phases, we don’t usually expect to see a
company generate positive cash from its operating activities until part way
through the growth phase. Because the company is making significant
investments in its long-lived assets, cash will be used by investing
activities. During the first two phases, cash generated by financing
activities is usually positive as debt and equity are issued to pay for the
investments and cover the operating activities shortfall. These patterns
reverse in the maturity and decline phases of the cycle. In the decline
phase, cash from operating activities decreases. Cash from investing
activities is positive as the company sells off its excess assets, before
starting to decline. Cash is used for financing activities as the company
continues to pay off its debt.

18. A company that just commenced its operations would be expected to report low
or negative cash flows from operating activities. Later, when the company is
growing and healthy, the cash from operating activities will become positive.
The company would also usually show cash used in investing activities as it
invests in its productive capacity. At this stage, the company will also usually
show cash inflows in financing activities to finance the purchase of productive
assets not covered from operating activities.

19. Creditors may be concerned about the company’s ability to repay its obligations
over the long-term. The lack of cash flows from operating activities may be of
concern to investors for several reasons. First, the decrease in cash flows may
have an adverse effect on the company’s share price. In addition, some investors
may be concerned that the company will not generate enough cash to pay
dividends in the future. This concern is supported by the declining free cash
flow, which also indicates the company is generating less cash from operating
activities to pay future dividends and to expand the business.

20. Improvements in free cash flow that do not involve improving cash from
operating activities include reducing the amount of capital expenditures or by
reducing the amount of dividends paid.
LO 5 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: 5 min. AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting
21. If net capital expenditures and dividends paid exceed cash provided by operating
activities, then free cash flow will be negative.
22. Data collected from customers using loyalty cards can be mined to target
advertising of specific products meeting the customer’s need and buying habits.
Based on the most popular product sold, a store can adjust their product
placement to maximize customer traffic to those products. These strategies can
lead to increased sales and corresponding increases in operating cash flow.

*23. Net cash provided by operating activities under the direct method is the
difference between cash revenues and cash expenses. The direct method adjusts
the accrual-based revenues and expenses directly to reflect the cash-based
revenues and expenses, which combine to equal "net cash provided by operating
activities."
LO 6 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: 5 min. AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting
*24. Depreciation and amortization expenses are not listed in the operating activities
section under the direct method because they are not cash flow items—they do
not affect cash. Recall the journal entry to record depreciation: debit
Depreciation Expense and credit Accumulated Depreciation. The entry to record
amortization is similar. As you can see, there is no cash involved in this journal
entry. This is different from the indirect method, which uses net income as its
starting point and must add back depreciation and amortization as noncash items
included in the determination of net income.

*25. When preparing the operating activities of the statement of cash flows using the
direct method, the same information is needed as when preparing the statement
using the indirect method. For the amount of cash received from customers, the
amount of sales, changes in accounts receivable, change in refund liability and
changes in deferred revenue are needed. In the case of the cash paid to suppliers,
cost of goods sold and the changes in inventory, estimated inventory returns and
accounts payable are needed.

*26. The gain on disposal of equipment and the loss on the sale of land would not
appear on the operating activity section of statement of cash flows prepared
using the direct method because these are not cash flow items. However, the
gross proceeds received when the assets are sold would be reported in the
statement of cash flows, as investing activities.

b. Free cash flow provides better information than net cash provided by operating
activities because it includes the corporation’s ability to sustain capital asset
replacements and additions, and its ability to distribute dividends to its
shareholders.
a. Apple would have obtained cash as proceeds from the disposal of long-term
investments in amounts that are larger than the amount of net capital
expenditures resulting in net cash provided by investing activities in 2018.
b. Based on the changes in cash flows from 2017 and 2018, Apple Inc. is likely in
the maturity stage of the corporate life cycle. This is due to the reduced uses of
cash from investing activities and increased uses of cash from financing
activities.
d. As a shareholder of Apple Inc., I would be pleased with the large increase in the
free cash flow generated in 2018 compared to 2017.
e. The amount of the dividends paid exceeds the amount of capital expenditures in
both years because all necessary capital expenditures have been made throughout
the previous years, as needed and also because of the nature of Apple’s business,
which is not capital intensive and the fact that the business is in the maturity
stage.
Thus, cash receipts from customers must have equalled = $160,700 [ $170,000 –
($24,000 – $14,000) + ($1,700 - $1,000)].

3. The recording of the fair value adjustment through net income or loss for an
unrealized gain on a trading investment does not involve cash, but increases net
income for the gain that is accrued and the carrying amount of the investment on
the statement of financial position. This would not be reported on the statement

5. The purchase of land in exchange for a note payable issued to the seller would

cash directly, it is not reported on the statement of cash flows. Rather it is
reported in a note to the financial statements explaining this non-cash financing

Since this transaction does not involve cash directly, it is not reported on the

would be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

b. The company was able to generate a sufficient amount of operating cash flows
and to obtain bank financing and use both of these sources of cash to purchase
additional furniture. The net cash from operating activities seems sufficiently
large enough to make any loan payments in the future. One needs to ask why the
inventory rose as much as it did because it did lower cash from operating
activities.

EXERCISE 13.10
a. Company A and Company C both show a source of increase in their cash from
operating activities of $25,000 when compared to net income or loss. Since the
amount of depreciation is assumed to be the same, both companies show an
equal ability in managing non-cash working capital, which is better than
Company B.
c. Company A is the most likely to have sufficient cash flows to pay down debt or
pay out dividends because it is the only company of the three that has provided
positive cash flows from operations.
d. Company A is the most capable of growing the size of its business operations as
its operations have generated the most cash and this made it able to spend
$50,000 on investing activities, to pay out cash for financing activities, and still
increase its cash position by the end of the year.

c. The purchase of the building was financed partially from the issuance of
common shares and mostly from increasing the bank loan. The amount of the
investment for the building is disproportionate to the amount of the retained
earnings, which in turn was substantially depleted from a large dividend
payment. Net income is modest and is made up of a one-time gain realized on the
disposal of the old building. The net income level will decline in the future as a
result of servicing the additional debt. Sylvester Ltd. could not afford to
purchase the building without external financing.

b. Alton Ltd. did not manage its noncash working capital efficiently. It increased
both its accounts receivable and inventory while at the same time decreased its
accounts payable. A creditor might find this an alarming trend. Alton runs the
increased risk of not being able to collect receivables and sell its entire inventory
in the future.
c. The banker would be worried for the reasons mentioned in part (b) but also for
Alton’s poor performance in obtaining cash from operating activities. The
purchase of the building was financed completely with debt and no equity.
Although some cash was obtained from selling land, this sale was done at a large
loss. Cash paid in dividends was more than three times the size of the net income
and additional cash was spent buying back common shares. The amount of the
investment for the building is disproportionate to the amount of the retained
earnings, which in turn was substantially depleted from the large dividend
payment. The net income level will decline in the future as a result of servicing
the additional debt and depreciating the new building. Alton Ltd. could not
afford to purchase the building without external financing.

a. Although Second Cup had a modest amount of income for the year, it managed
to generate a larger positive cash flows from operating activities. The overall
increase in cash and cash equivalent came mainly from additional cash from
financing activities.
The increase in Starbucks’ cash and cash equivalents for the year came from the
large amount of cash provided by operating activities that was more than enough
to cover the amount of cash consumed by investing and financing activities. The
company generated 164% more cash from operating activities than net income
[($11,937.8 – $4,518.0) ÷ $4,518.0].

b. Both methods are acceptable under both IFRS and ASPE. I would recommend
that the company use the direct method to prepare its operating activities section.
Users usually find this method to be more informative because it shows cash
receipts from customers and other sources and cash payments for major
categories. It is also the method preferred by the standard setters. Nonetheless,
many companies prefer to use the indirect method because it is easier to prepare
and their accounting system may not be adapted to capture the transaction data
required in the direct method.
