Cash Flow Classifications ► Because our focus is on cash flows, it is important to have a clear understanding of what is included in the term cash. ► For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes both funds on hand (coins and currency) and cash equivalents. ► Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of three months or less. ► Examples: Money market funds, investments in U.S. government securities (treasury bills) ► Because of their high liquidity or nearness to cash, cash equivalents are treated as cash in the statement of cash flows. ► During an accounting period, a company engages in the three fundamental business activities—operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Each of these activities can contribute to (a cash inflow) or reduce (a cash outflow) a company’s cash balance. 2

Cash Flows from Operating Activities ► Cash flows from operating activities (or operating cash flows) are the cash inflows and outflows that relate to acquiring (purchasing or manufacturing), selling, and delivering goods or services. ► Cash inflows from operating activities include: ► cash sales to customers ► collection of accounts receivable arising from credit sales ► cash dividends received ► interest received on investments in equity and debt securities ► Cash outflows from operating activities include payments: ► to suppliers for goods and services ► to employees for wages and salaries ► to governments for taxes ► to lenders for interest on debt. 2

Cash Flows from Financing Activities ► Cash flows from financing activities (or financing cash flows) include obtaining resources from creditors and owners. ► Cash inflows from financing activities include cash received from the: ► issuance of stock ► issuance of debt (bonds or notes payable) ► Cash outflows from financing activities include cash payments to: ► repay the principal amount borrowed (bonds or notes payable) ► repurchase a company’s own stock (treasury stock) ► pay dividends 2

Noncash Investing and Financing Activities ► Occasionally, investing and financing activities take place without affecting cash. ► For example, a company may choose to acquire an operating asset (such as a building) by issuing long-term debt. ► Alternatively, a company may acquire one asset by exchanging it for another. ► These types of activities are referred to as noncash investing and financing activities. ► Because these activities do not involve cash, they are not reported on the statement of cash flows. ► Any significant noncash investing and financing activities are required to be reported in a supplementary schedule that is shown either at the bottom of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. 2

Analyzing the Accounts for Cash Flow Data ► Unlike the balance sheet and the income statement, the statement of cash flows cannot be prepared by simply using information obtained from an adjusted trial balance prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. ► The accrual-basis numbers in the balance sheet and the income statement must be adjusted to a cash basis to understand why cash changed. ► Using the fundamental accounting equation, these changes can be summarized as: 3

Preparing a Statement of Cash Flows ► To prepare a statement of cash flows, you need: ► Comparative balance sheets: Used to determine the changes in assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity during a period ► Current income statement: Used to determine cash flows from operating activities ► Additional information about selected accounts: Used to determine the reason why cash was received or paid 3

19 Preparing a Statement of Cash Flows (Continued) ► Five basic steps are required to prepare the statement of cash flows. ► Step 1: Compute the net cash flow from operating activities. ► Step 2: Compute the net cash flow from investing activities. ► Step 3: Compute the net cash flow from financing activities. ► Step 4: Combine the net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities to obtain the net increase (decrease) in cash for the period. ► Step 5: Compute the change in cash for the period and compare this with the change in cash from Step 4. © 2012 Cengage Learning.

20 Preparing Cash Flows from Operating Activities ► The cash flows from operating activities section of the statement of cash flows may be prepared using either of two methods: the direct method or the indirect method. ► In the direct method, cash inflows and cash outflows are listed for each type of operating activity that a company performs. ► These cash flows are generally computed by adjusting each item on the income statement by the changes in the related current asset or liability accounts. ► The indirect method does not report individual cash inflows and outflows. ► Instead, it focuses on the differences between net income and operating cash flow. The indirect method begins with net income and then adjusts it for noncash items to produce net cash flow from operating activities. ► Adjustments to net income are necessary for two reasons under the indirect method: ► to eliminate income statement items that do not affect cash (such as depreciation and gains/losses on sales of assets) and ► to adjust accrual-basis revenues and expenses to cash receipts and cash payments. 4

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Preparing the Statement of Cash Flows Using The Indirect Method ► Under the indirect method, four types of adjustments must be made to net income to adjust it to net cash flow from operating activities: ► Add to net income any noncash expenses and subtract from net income any noncash revenues. ► Add to net income any losses and subtract from net income any gains. ► Add to net income any decreases in current assets or increases in current liabilities that are related to operating activities. ► Subtract from net income any increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities that are related to operating activities. 4

Preparing and Analyzing Cash Flows from Investing Activities ► The second major section of the statement of cash flows reports the net cash flow from investing activities. ► Information for preparing the investing activities portion of the statement of cash flows is obtained from the investment and long-term asset accounts. ► To analyze investing activities, use the three basic steps shown below: 5

Preparing Cash Flows from Financing Activities ► The intent of the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows is to identify inflows and outflows of cash arising from business activities that either produced capital (long- term debt or stockholders’ equity) for the company or repaid capital supplied to the company. ► Three basic steps are used to analyze financing activities: ► Step 1: Recreate the journal entries to describe the activities that took place during the period. ► Step 2: Record the cash flows as inflows or outflows of cash in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. ► Step 3: Analyze the account to make sure the account activity has been completely explained. 6

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Using the Statement of Cash Flows ► Effective analysis of the statement of cash flows requires the following: ► an examination of the statement of cash flows itself, ► a comparison of the information on the current statement of cash flows with earlier statements, and ► a comparison of the information in the current statement of cash flows with information from other companies’ statements of cash flow. 7

33 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Examining the Statement of Cash Flows ► One of the most important insights that can be gained by inspecting the current period’s statement of cash flows is an estimate of how long it will take to recover the cash outflow associated with long-term uses of cash (such as purchase of property, plant, and equipment). ► As investments in property, plant, and equipment are likely to require several profitable years before the investment is completely recovered through the sale of goods or services, prudent managers will seek long-term sources of cash such as long-term debt or equity which will not need to be repaid before the original investment has been recovered through profitable operations. 7

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Examining the Statement of Cash Flows (continued) ► The sources most frequently used to provide long-term cash inflows are operations, the sale of long-term debt, and the sale of stock. Of these three, operations is generally considered the least risky, or the most controllable. ► The sale of debt or equity requires that investors or creditors make sizable commitments to the company. Although cash inflows from operations also require that an outsider (the customer) make a commitment, the size and timing of a customer’s cash commitments are more flexible. ► Thus, it is more likely that the company can produce cash inflows from customers on a regular basis. For this reason, most companies attempt to secure a sizable portion of their total cash inflows from operations. ► Generally, analysts view cash flows from operations as the most important section of the statement of cash flows because, in the long-run, this will be the company’s source of cash used to provide a return to investors and creditors. 7

Comparing the Statement of Cash Flows from Several Periods ► An analysis of the statement of cash flows also requires a comparison of the company’s current statement of cash flows with earlier statements of cash flow. ► Typically, several consecutive years should be analyzed in order to determine trends in cash inflows and cash outflows. ► Financial statement users rely on summary cash flow measures to help them make assessments. ► Free cash flow ► Cash flow adequacy 7

36 ► A company’s free cash flow represents the cash flow that a company is able to generate after considering the maintenance or expansion of its assets (capital expenditures) and the payment of dividends. ► Free cash flow allows a company to pursue profit- generating opportunities. ► However, negative free cash flow is not necessarily a bad thing, but may indicate large investments in productive assets, which is good for a long-run strategy. © 2012 Cengage Learning.

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Cash Flow Adequacy Ratio ► A second useful measure is the cash flow adequacy ratio. ► The cash flow adequacy ratio provides a measure of the company’s ability to meet its maturing debt obligations and is calculated as: ► The cash flow adequacy ratio is also an indicator of whether the company has the capacity to borrow additional debt. 7

Comparing the Statement of Cash Flows to Similar Companies ► Finally, the analysis of the statement of cash flows requires comparisons with similar companies. ► Such comparisons provide good reference points because similar companies generally secure cash from similar sources and are likely to spend cash for similar activities. ► Comparative analysis can reveal significant deviations in ► the amounts of cash inflows, ► the source of those inflows, and ► the types of activities to which cash is applied. ► When significant differences are found among similar companies, explanations should be searched for in the other financial statements, notes accompanying the statements, or from management. 7

Appendix 11A: The Direct Method ► In the direct method of computing net cash flow from operating activities, inflows and outflows of cash are listed for each type of operating activity that a company performs. ► This involves adjusting each item on the income statement by the changes in the related current asset or liability accounts. ► Typical operating cash flows and adjustments necessary to compute them follow. 8

Cash Collected from Customers ► Sales revenue includes both cash sales and credit sales. ► When all sales are for cash, the cash collected from customers equals sales. ► However, when credit sales are made, the amount of cash that was collected during a period must be determined by analyzing the sales and accounts receivable accounts. ► A general formula to compute cash collections from customers is: 8

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Other Cash Collections ► If other revenues exist (such as interest or rent), similar adjustments are made to determine the cash collections. ► Again, the general formula to compute other cash collections (like interest) is: 8

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Cash Paid to Suppliers ► A company pays its suppliers for inventory which it later sells to customers, as represented by cost of goods sold. ► These purchases of inventory from suppliers may be either cash purchases or credit purchases, reflected as accounts payable. ► Both inventory and accounts payable must be analyzed for this adjustment. ► A general formula to calculate cash paid to suppliers is: 8

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Cash Paid for Operating Expenses ► Operating expenses are the expenses the business incurs in selling goods or providing services and managing the company. ► To determine the amount of cash payments for operating expenses, it is necessary to analyze the changes in the balance sheet accounts that are related to operating expenses—prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities. ► A general formula for these two adjustments to compute cash paid for operating expenses is: 8

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Cash Paid for Interest and Income Taxes ► Computing cash paid for interest and income taxes is similar to that for operating expenses. ► Interest payable increases when interest expense is recorded and decreases when interest is paid. ► General formulas to capture these relationships are: 8

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Other Items ► Noncash revenues and expenses do not affect cash flows. Therefore, under the direct method, noncash items are not reported on the statement of cash flows. ► Gains or losses do not affect cash flow and should not be included as an operating activity. ► Therefore, gains and losses are not reported on the statement of cash flows under the direct method. 8

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Appendix 11B: Using a Spreadsheet to Prepare The Statement of Cash Flows ► The use of a spreadsheet provides a means of systematically analyzing changes in the balance sheet amounts, along with the information from the income statement and any additional information, to produce a statement of cash flows. ► This approach produces spreadsheet entries (made only on the spreadsheet and not in the general ledger) that simultaneously reconstruct and explain the changes in the balance sheet account balances and identify the cash inflows and outflows. ► Its primary advantage is that it provides a systematic approach to analyze the data, which is helpful in complex situations. 9

Appendix 11B: Using a Spreadsheet to Prepare The Statement of Cash Flows (continued) ► To construct the spreadsheet, follow three steps: ► Step 1: Construct five columns. ► Column 1: Insert balance sheet account titles. Immediately beneath the balance sheet accounts, set up the three sections of the statement of cash flows. ► Column 2: Insert the beginning balances of the balance sheet accounts (enter the amounts at this time). ► Column 3: Insert the debit adjustments ► Column 4: Insert credit adjustments ► Column 5: Insert the ending balances of the balance sheet accounts (enter the amounts at this time). 9

50 Appendix 11B: Using a Spreadsheet to Prepare The Statement of Cash Flows (continued) ► Step 2: Analyze each change in the balance sheet accounts in terms of debits and credits. ► Enter the effects in the adjustments column. ► Note that each entry will adjust both the balance sheet account being considered and either a statement of cash flows section of the spreadsheet or another balance sheet account (other than cash). ► Note that all inflows of cash are recorded as debits and all outflows of cash are recorded as credits. ► Step 3: Prepare the statement of cash flows from the information contained in the statement of cash flows section of the spreadsheet. © 2012 Cengage Learning.
