ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.(a) 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.
(b) Disagree. The statement of cash flows is required. It is the fourth basic financial statement.
2.The statement of cash flows answers the following questions about cash: (a) Where did the cash
come from during the period? (b) What was the cash used for during the period? and (c) What was the change in the cash balance during the period?
3.The three activities are:
Operating activities include the cash effects of transactions that create revenues and expenses and thus enter into the determination of net income.
Investing activities include: (a) purchasing and disposing of investments and productive long-lived assets and (b) lending money and collecting loans.
Financing activities include: (a) obtaining cash from issuing debt and repaying amounts borrowed and (b) obtaining cash from stockholders, repurchasing shares, and paying them dividends.
4.(a) Major sources of cash in a statement of cash flows include cash from operations; issuance of debt;
collection of loans; issuance of capital stock; sale of investments; and the sale of property, plant, and equipment.
(b) Major uses of cash include purchase of inventory, payment of cash dividends; redemption of
debt; purchase of investments; making loans; redemption of capital stock; and the purchase of property, plant, and equipment.
5.The statement of cash flows presents investing and financing activities so that even noncash
transactions of an investing and financing nature are disclosed in the financial statements. If they affect financial conditions significantly, the FASB requires that they be disclosed in either a separate schedule at the bottom of the statement of cash flows or in a separate note or supplementary schedule to the financial statements.
6.Examples of significant noncash activities are: (1) issuance of stock for assets, (2) conversion of
bonds into common stock, (3) issuance of bonds or notes for assets, and (4) noncash exchanges of property, plant, and equipment.
https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4a1760418.html,parative balance sheets, a current income statement, and certain transaction data all provide
information necessary for preparation of the statement of cash flows. Comparative balance sheets indicate how assets, liabilities, and equities have changed during the period. A current income statement provides information about the amount of cash provided or used by operations. Certain transactions provide additional detailed information needed to determine how cash was provided or used during the period.
8.(a) The phases of the corporate life cycle are the introductory phase, growth phase, maturity phase,
and decline phase.
(b) During the introductory phase, cash from operations and investing would be expected to be
negative, and cash from financing would be positive.
Questions Chapter 12 (Continued)
During the growth phase, a company would be expected to show some small amounts of cash from operations while continuing to show negative cash from investing and positive cash from financing.
During the maturity phase, cash from operations, investing, and financing would all be expected to be positive while in the decline phase, cash from operations and investing would continue to be positive while cash from financing would be negative.
9. Tootsie Roll has positive cash from operations that exceeds its net income. Cash from operations
exceeded its investing needs and it retired shares of stock and paid dividends. Tootsie Roll appears to be in the middle to late maturity phase.
10.The advantage of the direct method is that it presents the major categories of cash receipts and
cash payments in a format that is similar to the income statement and familiar to statement users. Its principal disadvantage is that the necessary data can be expensive and time-consuming to accumulate.
The advantage of the indirect method is it is often considered easier to prepare, and it provides a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities. It also tends to reveal less company information to competitors. Its primary disadvantage is the difficulty in understanding the adjustments that comprise the reconciliation.
Both methods are acceptable but the FASB expressed a preference for the direct method. Yet, the indirect method is the overwhelming favorite of companies.
11.When total cash inflows exceed total cash outflows, the excess is identified as a ―net increase in
cash‖ near the bottom of the statement of cash flows.
12.The indirect method involves converting accrual net income to net cash provided by operating
activities. This is done by starting with accrual net income and adjusting for items that do not affect cash. Examples of adjustments include depreciation and other noncash expenses, gains and losses on the sale of noncurrent assets, and changes in the balances of current asset and current liability accounts from one period to the next.
13.It is necessary to convert accrual-based net income to cash-basis income because the unadjusted net
income includes items that do not provide or use cash. An example would be an increase in accounts receivable. If accounts receivable increased during the period, revenues reported on the accrual basis would be higher than the actual cash revenues received. Thus, accrual-basis net income must be adjusted to reflect the net cash provided by operating activities.
14. A number of factors could have caused an increase in cash despite the net loss. These are (1) high
cash revenues relative to low cash expenses; (2) sales of property, plant, and equipment; (3) sales of investments; (4) issuance of debt or capital stock, and (5) differences between cash and accrual accounting, e.g. depreciation.
15.Depreciation expense.
Gain or loss on sale of a noncurrent asset.
Increase/decrease in accounts receivable.
Increase/decrease in inventory.
Increase/decrease in accounts payable.
Questions Chapter 12 (Continued)
16.Under the indirect method, depreciation is added back to net income to reconcile net income to net
cash provided by operating activities because depreciation is an expense but not a cash payment.
17.The statement of cash flows is useful because it provides information to the investors, creditors, and
other users about: (1) the company’s ability to generate future cash flows, (2) the company’s ability to pay dividends and meet obligations, (3) the reasons for the difference between net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and (4) the cash and noncash financing and investing transactions during the period.
18.T his transaction is reported in the note or schedule entitled ―Noncash investing and financing activities‖
as follows: ―Retirement of bonds payable through issuance of common stock, $1,700,000.‖
19.(a) The current ratio is an accrual-based ratio that measures liquidity while the current cash debt
coverage ratio is a cash-based ratio that measures liquidity.
(b) Solvency can be measured by the debt to total assets ratio (accrual-based) or the cash debt
coverage ratio (cash-based).
*https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4a1760418.html, cash provided by operating activities under the direct approach is the difference between cash revenues and cash expenses. The direct approach adjusts the revenues and expenses directly to reflect the cash basis. This results in cash net income, which is equal to ―net c ash provided by operating activities.‖

Cash flows from financing activities
Proceeds from issuance of bonds payable ........................ $300,000
Payment of dividends .......................................................... (70,000) Net cash provided by financing activities ................... $230,000) BRIEF EXERCISE 12-4
(a) Cash from operations would be lower than net income during the growth
phase because inventory must be purchased for future projected sales.
Since sales during the growth phase are projected to be increasing, in-ventory purchases must increase and inventory expensed on an accrual basis would be less than inventory purchased on a cash basis. Also, collections on accounts receivable would lag behind sales; thus, accrual sales would exceed cash collections during the period.
(b) Cash from investing is often positive during the late maturity phase and
the decline phase because the firm may sell off excess long-term assets that are no longer needed for productive purposes.

BRIEF EXERCISE 12-11
Free cash flow = $123,100,000 – $20,800,000 = $102,300,000
BRIEF EXERCISE 12-12
Free cash flow is cash provided by operations less capital expenditures and cash dividends paid. For Payne Inc. this would be $364,000 ($734,000 –$280,000 –$90,000). Since it has positive free cash flow that far exceeds its dividend, an increase in the dividend might be possible. However, other factors should be considered. For example, it must have adequate retained earnings, and it should be convinced that a larger dividend can be sustained over future years. It should also use the free cash flow to expand its operations or pay down its debt.
