This conversion may be done by two methods: indirect direct 15 Indirect and Direct Methods Both methods arrive at the same total amount for “Net cash” provided by operating activities. The methods differ in disclosing the items that make up the total amount. The choice of methods affects only the operating activities section; the investing and financing activities sections are the same. 16 Indirect Method The indirect method is used extensively in practice. Most companies favor the indirect method for the following reasons: it is easier to prepare it focuses on the differences between net income and net cash flow from operating activities it tends to reveal less company information to competitors. 17 Direct Method The FASB prefers the direct method but allows the use of either method. When the direct method is used, the net cash flow from operating activities as computed using the indirect method must also be reported in a separate schedule. 18 Steps in Preparing Statement of Cash Flows $34,000 - 0 = $34,000 19 Statement Of Cash Flows Indirect Method The transactions of Computer Services Company for the year ended 2003 are used to illustrate the preparation of a statement of cash flows . Computer services Company started in January 1, 2003, when it issued 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock for $50,000 cash. The company rented its office space and furniture and performed consulting services throughout the first year. 20 Steps in Preparing Statement of Cash Flows 21 Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By Operating Activities Adjust net income for items that did not affect cash. Net income must be converted because earned revenues may include credit sales that have not been collected in cash and expenses incurred that may not have been paid in cash. 22 Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By Operating Activities Receivables, payables, prepayments, and inventories must be analyzed for their effects on cash. 23 Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By Operating Activities Computer Services Company had revenues of $85,000 in its first year of operations. However, CSC collected only $55,000 in cash. Accrual basis revenue was $85,000, cash basis revenue would be $55,000. The increase in accounts receivable of $30,000 must be deducted from net income. If accounts receivable decrease, the decrease must be added to net income. 24 COMPUTER SERVICES COMPANY Statement of Cash Flows--Indirect Method (Partial) For the Year Ended December 31, 2003 Cash flows from operating activities Net income $35,000 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Increase in accounts receivable $(30,000) 25 Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By Operating Activities Accounts payable - When accounts payable increase during a year, operating expenses on an accrual basis are higher than they are on a cash basis. For CSC, operating expenses reported in the income statement were $40,000. Since Accounts Payable increased $4,000, $36,000 ($40,000 – $4,000) of the expenses were paid in cash. To convert net income to net cash provided by operating activities, an increase in accounts payable must be added to net income, a decrease subtracted. 26 COMPUTER SERVICES COMPANY Statement of Cash Flows--Indirect Method (Partial) For the Year Ended December 31, 2003 Cash flows from operating activities Net income $35,000 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Increase in accounts receivable $(30,000) Increase in accounts payable 4,000 (26,000) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 9,000 27 Steps in Preparing Statement of Cash Flows 28 Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By Investing and Financing Activities No data are given for the increases in Equipment of $10,000 and Common Stock of $50,000.
