CHAPTER 6
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
I.

Questions
1. Purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows
a. To predict future cash flows
b. To evaluate management decisions
c. To determine the ability to pay dividends to shareholders and
interest and principal to creditors
d. To show the relationship of net income to changes in the
businesss cash.
2. Comparative balance sheets present the financial position of the enterprise
at two points in time. The income statement for the period between the
two balance sheets describes how the income-producing activities affected
the financial position. Because cash flows from operating activities may
differ substantially from net income, and because numerous other
financing and investing activities have an impact on financial position, the
statement of cash flows is necessary. The statement emphasizes changes
in the cash balances that result from changes in assets, liabilities and
equity accounts caused by operating, investing and financing activities.
3. The most important source of cash for many successful companies is from
operating activities. A large positive operating cash flow is a good sign
because it means funds have been internally generated with no fixed
obligations or commitment to return such to anybody.
4. It is possible for cash to decrease during a year when income is high
because cash may be used not only for operating activities but also for
investing and financing activities.
5. Transactions involving accounts payable are not considered to be
financing activities because such transactions are used to obtain goods
and services rather than to obtain cash. Furthermore, purchases of goods
and services relate to a companys day-to-day operating activities.
6. The loss is added back to net income to avoid double counting since the
entire proceeds from the sale (net book value minus loss on sale) will
appear as a cash inflow from investing activities.
7. Three categories of transactions that may result in increases in cash are
6-1

Chapter 6 Cash Flow Analysis

a. Operating activities
b. Investing activities (e.g., sale of investments or other assets).
c. Financing activities (e.g., borrowing or sale of stock).
These activities are sources of cash when cash is increased as a result of
the particular activity.
8. Three categories of transactions that may result in decreases in cash are
a. Operating activities
b. Investing activities (e.g., purchase of investments or other assets).
c. Financing activities (e.g., repayment of debt or retirement of stock).
These activities are uses of cash when cash is decreased as a result of the
particular activity.
9. Noncash transactions do not provide or consume cash even though they
may result in significant changes in financial position. Examples are the
issuance of share capital for plant assets and the conversion of debt or
preference shares into ordinary shares. Such transactions are not
presented in the body of the statement of cash flows but rather disclosed in
a separate schedule as financing or investing activities.
10. While net loss is usually associated with a decrease in cash, it may be a
source of cash if noncash expenses are greater than the amount of the net
loss. For example, if a net loss of P100,000 included amortization and
depreciation of P125,000 and no noncash revenues existed, cash provided
by operating activities would be P25,000, computed as follows:
Net loss
Add: Expenses not requiring cash depreciation
and amortization
Net cash provided by operating activities

P(100,000)
P

125,000
25,000

11. The change in cash is the difference between cash at the beginning and end
of the accounting period. The net amount of cash provided by or used in
operating, investing and financing activities must equal this change in
cash. For example, if cash increased by P150,000 during the year, total
sources from operating, investing, and financing activities must exceed
total uses by P150,000. Also, if cash decreased by P25,000 during the
year, total uses of cash must exceed total sources by P25,000.
12. (a) The use of cash does not occur until the cash dividend is actually paid
in the next period. The declaration of the dividend does affect
financial position, however, and should be disclosed as a noncash
financing activity in a separate schedule accompanying the statement
of cash flows.
6-2

Cash Flow Analysis Chapter 6

(b) Because the dividend was declared and paid in the same accounting
period, it appears in the statement of cash flows as a cash decrease in
the financing activities category.
13. Disagree. The refunding of 10% debt by the 8% debt represents a
significant financing activity, even though the net impact of the exchange
on the balance sheet or on the amount of cash is not material. The
issuance of 8% bonds and the retirement of 10% bonds should be reported
as noncash financing transactions in a schedule accompanying the
statement of cash flows.
14. The net income figure includes P150,000 as an expense. Only P112,500
of this amount resulted in a decrease in cash, because P37,500 represents
an increase in the deferred income tax liability account. In determining
cash provided by operating activities, the amount of income tax paid is
P112,500 (direct method). Alternatively, under the indirect method,
P37,500 must be added to net income to determine cash flows from
operating activities.
15. The loss is omitted when listing expenses requiring cash payment (direct
approach) or added back to net income (indirect approach) in determining
cash provided by operating activities. This eliminates the impact of the
transaction from cash provided by operating activities. Then, the proceeds
from the sale are included as a source of cash in the investing activities
category of the statement of cash flows. Any tax effects of the transaction
are included in the tax expense figure and remain a part of cash flows
from operating activities.

Problem 2 (Analysis of Cash Flow Transactions)

Requirement (a)
The eight items should be presented in the statement of cash flows as follows:
1. Net income is the basis for the calculation of cash flows from operating
activities by starting with that number and adjusting for noncash revenue
and expense transactions (indirect method) or by computing by the direct
method the positive cash flows from revenues, less the negative cash flows
from expenses. The cash flows from the transaction giving rise to the
extraordinary loss is reclassified as an investing activity.
2. The acquisition of intangibles is a negative cash flow from investing
activities. The amortization is a noncash expense in determining cash
flows from operating activities.
6-4

Cash Flow Analysis Chapter 6

3. The payment of a cash dividend is a negative cash flow that is presented

in the financing activities section of the statement.
4. The purchase of treasury stock is a negative cash flow in the financing
activities section of the statement.
5. The depreciation expense recognized during the year is a noncash expense
in determining cash flows from operating activities.
6. The conversion of convertible bonds into ordinary shares is a noncash
financing activity that requires disclosure in a separate schedule.
7. The changes in plant asset accounts land, equipment, and building
represent activities whose cash flow effects are presented in the investing
activities section of the statement.
8. The increase in working capital also represents the change in cash because
all other current assets and current liabilities remained constant. The net
of all cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities must
reconcile with the change in cash in the statement of cash flows.

Requirement (b)
The reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by or used in operating
activities is required to be disclosed in order to show more clearly the
relationship and emphasize the differences between the two. Users of financial
statements are often not as aware of the accrual concepts, which determine net
income, as are preparers of those statements. The reconciliation of net income
to net cash flows from operating activities clearly demonstrates that the two
are different and details those events and transactions that account for the
difference.

Ebony Company has relied much more heavily on operations to provide cash
and to a very limited extent on debt and equity financing and asset disposition.
On the other hand, Ivory Company has not been able to provide cash from
operations and has been required to rely on the alternatives of debt and equity
financing and asset disposition.
Requirement (c)
Ebony Company is in a considerably stronger position (as determined by the
data given) and thus should be considered the better investment and credit risk.
The following points are significant:
1. Ebony Company has provided 70%-80% of its cash via operating
activities, supplementing with other means to maintain a current ratio

6-10

Cash Flow Analysis Chapter 6

at the industry average. Ebony has not had to rely consistently on any
alternative source of funding.
2. Ivory Company has apparently been forced to rely continuously on
debt financing except in 2005, perhaps because of the inability to
obtain such financing. The year 2004 is particularly weak for Ivory,
with operations resulting in a P60,000 reduction in cash. The ability
of Ivory to sustain its present financial position (i.e., current ratio,
etc.) is questionable in light of its history.
