Operating Activities - ALERT
• Some cash flows relating to investing or
financing activities are classified as operating
activities. For example...
– Receipts of investment revenue (interest
and dividends) and
– Payments of interest to lenders are
classified as operating activities because
these items are reported in the income
statement.
11

in the body of the statement of cash flows.
• Are reported:
– In a separate schedule at the bottom of the
statement of cash flows or

The Product Life Cycle
• A series of phases all products go through
• The phases are often referred to as the:
– introductory phase
– growth phase
– maturity phase
– decline phase
• The phase a company is in affects its cash
flows.
18
Introductory Phase
To support asset purchases the company may
issue stock or debt. Expect:
• cash from operations to be negative.
• cash from investing to to be negative.
• cash from financing to be positive.
19
Growth Phase
The company is striving to expand its
production and sales.
Expect:
• small amounts of cash to be generated
from operations.
• cash from investing to be negative.
• cash from financing to be positive.
20
Maturity Phase
Sales and production level-off.
Expect:
• cash from operations to exceed investing
needs.
• cash from investing to be neutral.
• cash from financing to be
negative.
21
Decline Phase
Sales and production decline.
Expect:
• cash from operations to decline.
• cash from investing to
possibly become
positive.
• cash from financing
to possibly become
negative.
22
Impact of Product Life Cycle on Cash Flows
23
Why Report the Causes of Changes
in Cash?
Because investors, creditors, and
other interested parties want to know
what is happening to a company’s
most liquid asset:
CASH
24
Statement of Cash Flows Helps
Users Evaluate
1. The entity's ability to generate future cash flows.
2. The entity's ability to pay dividends and meet
obligations.
3. The reasons for the difference between net income
and net cash provided (used) by operating activities.
4. The investing and financing transactions during the
period.
25
Statement of Cash Flows Helps Answer
the Following Questions
• How did cash increase when there was a net
loss for the period?
• How were the proceeds of the bond issue used?
• How was the expansion in the plant and
equipment financed?
• Why were dividends not increased?
• How was the retirement of debt accomplished?
• How much money was borrowed during the
year?
• Is cash flow greater or less than net income?

3 Major Steps in Preparing the
Statement of Cash Flows
32
Indirect and Direct Methods
• Convert net income from an accrual
basis to a cash basis.
• This conversion may be done
by two methods:
– indirect
– direct
33
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.
34
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.
35
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.
36
Statement Of Cash Flows - Indirect
Method
• The transactions of Technology Services
Company for the year ended 2005 are used to
illustrate the preparation of a statement of cash
flows .
• Technology Services Company started in
January 1, 2005, 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.
37
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.
38
Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By
Operating Activities
Receivables, payables, prepayments,
and inventories must be analyzed for
their effects on cash.
39
Determine Net Cash Provided/Used By
Operating Activities
• Technology Services Company had revenues
of $85,000 in its first year of operations.
• However, TSC 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.

41
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 TSC, 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.

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. Assume
any differences involve cash.
• The increase in equipment is from a purchase of
equipment for $10,000 cash. This purchase is
reported as a cash outflow in the investing
activities section.
• The increase of common stock results from the
issuance of common stock for $50,000 cash. It is
reported as an inflow of cash in the financing
activities section of the statement of cash flows.

• In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash from
operations is intended to indicate the cashgenerating capability of the company.
• Statement of Cash flows fails to take into
account that a company must invest in new
fixed assets to maintain its current level of
operations and it must maintain dividends
at current levels to satisfy investors.

Assessing Liquidity, Solvency, and
Profitability Using Cash Flows
Rather than using numbers from the income
statement for assessment purposes, we use numbers
from the statement of cash flows.
The ratios are cash-based instead
of accural-based.
57
Cash-Based Measures
• Accrual-based measures allows too
much management discretion.
• One disadvantage to the cash-based
measures is no readily available
published industry averages for
comparison are available.
58
Liquidity
• Liquidity is the ability of a business to meet its
immediate obligations.
• One measure of liquidity is the current ratio.
– A disadvantage of the current ratio is that it
uses year-end balances of current assets and
current liabilities (may not be representative of
a company's position during most of the year.)
59
Current Cash Debt Coverage Ratio
Cash Debt Coverage Ratio
60
Current Cash Debt
Coverage Ratio
• A ratio that partially corrects this is the
current cash debt coverage ratio.
Cash provided by operations
Average current liabilities
• Since cash from operations involves the entire
year rather than a balance at one point in
time, it is often considered a better
representation of liquidity on the average day.
61
Solvency
• Solvency is the ability of a firm to survive over
the long term.
– One measure of solvency is the debt to total assets
ratio.
• A measure of solvency that uses cash figures is
the cash debt coverage ratio.
Cash Provided By Operations
Average Total Liabilities
• This ratio measures a company's ability to repay
its liabilities from cash generated from operations.
62
Profitability
• Profitability refers to a company's ability
to generate a reasonable return.
• Accrual-based ratios that measure
profitability are the gross profit rate,
profit rate margin, and return on assets.
• A cash-based measure of performance is
the cash return on sales ratio.
