CHAPTER 6

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

I. Questions

1. Purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows

a. To predict future cash flowsb. To evaluate management decisionsc. To determine the ability to pay dividends to shareholders and

interest and principal to creditorsd. To show the relationship of net income to changes in the

business’s 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 company’s day-to-day operating activities.

Chapter 6 Cash Flow Analysis

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

a. Operating activitiesb. Investing activities (e.g., sale of investments or other assets).c. Financing activities (e.g., borrowing or sale of shares).

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 activitiesb. Investing activities (e.g., purchase of investments or other assets).c. Financing activities (e.g., repayment of debt or retirement of shares).

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 P(100,000)Add: Expenses not requiring cash – depreciation

and amortization 125,000Net cash provided by operating activities P 25,000

Cash Flow Analysis Chapter 6

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.

(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.

6-3

Page 4: Chapter 06 - Answer

Chapter 6 Cash Flow Analysis

16. (1) Operating activities: Transactions that affect current assets, current liabilities, or net income.

(2) Investing activities: Transactions that involve the acquisition or disposition of noncurrent assets.

(3) Financing activities: Transactions (other than the payment of interest) involving borrowing from creditors, and any transactions (involving the owners of a company.

17. Interest is included as an operating activity since it is part of net income. Financing activities are narrowly defined to include only the principal amount borrowed or repaid.

18. Since the entire proceeds from a sale of an asset (including any gain) appear as a cash inflow from investing activities, the gain must be deducted from net income to avoid double counting.

19. The direct method reconstructs the income statement on a cash basis by restating revenues and expenses in terms of cash inflows and outflows. The indirect method starts with net income and adjusts it to a cash basis to determine the cash provided by operating activities.

20. An increase in the Accounts Receivable account must be deducted from net income under the indirect method because this is an increase in a noncash asset.

21. A decrease in the Accounts Payable account must be added to cost of goods sold under the direct method. The cost of goods sold is increased by the amount of the decrease in accounts payable. Because the cost of goods sold is increased, the net cash flow provided by operating activities is decreased. The effect of a decrease in a liability is a decrease in cash.

22. A sale of equipment for cash would be classified as an investing activity. Any transaction involving the acquisition or disposition of noncurrent assets is classified as an investing activity.

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.

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 share is a negative cash flow in the financing activities section of the statement.

6-11

Page 12: Chapter 06 - Answer

Chapter 6 Cash Flow Analysis

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)

6-17

Page 18: Chapter 06 - Answer

Chapter 6 Cash Flow Analysis

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 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.
