1.Summarize the types of cash flow activities reported in the statement of cash flows. 2.Prepare a statement of cash flows, using the indirect method. 3.Prepare a statement of cash flows, using the direct method. 4.Calculate and interpret the free cash flow. ObjectivesObjectives After studying this chapter, you should be able to:

The statement of cash flows reports cash flows by three types of activities: 1. Cash flows from operating activities – transactions that affect net income. 2.Cash flows from investing activities – transactions that affect noncurrent assets. 3.Cash flows from financing activities – transactions that affect equity and debt of the entity. Reporting Cash Flows

(payments for expenses) Operating Operating Increases in Cash Decreases in Cash (receipts from sales of noncurrent assets) Investing Investing (receipts from issuing equity and debt securities) Financing Financing (payments for acquiring noncurrent assets) Investing Investing Reporting Cash Flows (receipts from revenues) Operating Operating (payments for treasury stock, dividends, and redemption of debt securities) Financing Financing

Typical cash inflows Typical cash outflows What are some of the typical cash inflows from operating activities?` Cash Flows from Operating Activities Interest revenue Sales of goods and services Dividend revenue What are some of the typical cash outflows from operating activities? Merchandise purchases Payments of wages and other expenses Tax payments

What are some of the typical cash inflows from investing activities? Typical cash inflows Typical cash outflows Sale of long- term investments Sales of fixed assets Purchase of fixed assets Purchase of long-term investments What are some of the typical cash outflows from investing activities? Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash Flows from Financing Activities What are some of the typical cash inflows from financing activities? Issuing preferred and common stock Issuing bonds and long-term notes payable Paying cash dividends Repaying debt What are some of the typical cash outflows from financing activities? Acquiring treasury stock Typical cash inflows Typical cash outflows

Noncash Investing and Financing Activities Issuing bonds to acquire land Issuing common stock for convertible preferred stock Issuing a long-term note to acquire equipment Issuing a stock dividend

No cash flow per share is reported in the financial statements because the user might incorrectly interpret this as the amount available for dividends.

Balance Sheet Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity Cash + Noncash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity Cash = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity – Noncash Assets Cash Liabilities Stockholders’Equity NoncashAssets The Indirect Method

Cash Liabilities Stockholders’Equity Balance Sheet NoncashAssets Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity Cash + Noncash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity Cash = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity – Noncash Assets 23 1 The cash flows are determined by analyzing liabilities, stockholders’ equity, and noncash assets. The Indirect Method

Start with the accrual basis net income (shown in the income statement, the Retained Earnings account, or the statement of stockholders’ equity). The Indirect Method

Find the net income. ACCOUNT Retained Earnings ACCOUNT NO. 32 Balance Date Item Debit Credit Debit Credit Jan.1Balance202,300 Dec.31Net income108,000310,300 31Cash dividends28,000282,300 To statement The Indirect Method 2006

Next, we need to determine depreciation expense for the year. If it isn’t given on the income statement, sometimes it can be found by analyzing the Accumulated Depreciation account. The Indirect Method

Determine depreciation expense. ACCOUNT Accumulated Depreciation--Building ACCOUNT NO. 17 Balance Date Item Debit Credit Debit Credit Jan.1Balance58,300 Dec.31Depreciation for year7,00065,300 to statement 2006 The Indirect Method

Select current assets and current liabilities that impact cash flow and determine the increases and decreases. The Indirect Method

Determine the debit or credit change of each item above.

Cash flows from operating activities: Operating Activities—Indirect Method Add : Net income per income statement$108,000 Depreciation$ 7,000 Decrease in inventories8,000 Increase in accrued expenses 2,200 Increase in accrued expenses 2,200 17,200 $125,200 Inc. in accounts receivable$ 9,000 Dec. in accounts payable3,200 Dec. in income taxes payable500 Gain on sale of land12,000 24,700 Net cash flow from operating activities$100,500

Analyze the income statement to determine if there are any gains or losses from selling investments, equipment, etc. The Indirect Method

Rundell Inc. Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 Sales$1,180,000 Cost of merchandise sold 790,000 Gross profit$ 390,000 Operating expenses: Depreciation expense$ 7,000 Other operating expenses196,000 Total operating expenses 203,000 Income from operations$ 187,000 Other income: Gain on sale of land$12,000 Other expense: Interest expense 8,000 4,0000 Income before income tax$ 191,000 Income tax 83,000 Net income$ 108,000 Gain on sale of land $12,000

Cash flows from operating activities: Operating Activities—Indirect Method Add : Net income, per income statement$108,000 Depreciation$ 7,000 Decrease in inventories8,000 Increase in accrued expenses 2,200 17,200 $125,200 Inc. in accounts receivable$ 9,000 Dec. in accounts payable3,200 Dec. in income taxes payable500 Gain on sale of land12,000 24,700 Net cash flow from operating activities$100,500 This gain was included in net income, but did not represent an operating cash flow.

If there had been a loss on this sale, the loss would have been added to net income. The Indirect Method

Cash Flows from Financing Activities Because paying of dividends affects equity, it is a negative $24,000 cash flow from financing activities transaction.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities The first transaction, the sale of land, results in a positive cash flow from investing activities because land is a noncash asset. Land Transactions

Cash Flows from Investing Activities The $12,000 gain was recorded earlier on Slide 29 as an operating activity. The purchase of land also is an investing activity. Click here to return to Slide 29. To return to this slide, type “43” and press the “Enter” key. Land Transactions
