1 Chapter 14 Statement of Cash Flows Figure 14-1 Definition of Cash Cash consists of coin, currency, and available funds on deposit at the bank Negotiable instruments such as money orders, certified checks, cashier’s checks, personal checks, and bank drafts are also considered cash Also certain cash equivalents, which include commercial paper and other debt investments with maturities of less than three months are included in the statement of cash flows Standard Statement of Cash Flows Statement of Cash Flows Required for financial statements by SFAS 95 (1987) Primary purpose is to provide relevant information about cash receipts and cash disbursements of the company during the period Serves to complement the other financial statements Focus is on cash flows, not income Reconciles the balance sheet and the income statement Content of Statement of Cash Flows Explains change in cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments near to maturity Examples of cash equivalents are Treasury bills and money market funds Format of SCF includes the following three sections: - cash flow from operating activities - cash flow from investing activities - cash flow from financing activities Like US GAAP, IFRS requires the presentation of a SCF, and the format is largely the same Cash Flows from Operating Activities CF from operating activities is based on the income statement, and converts income activity to a cash basis There are two formats for the presentation of CF from operating activity: – direct method: this technique shows cash received from customers and cash paid to various entities for operating activities – indirect method: this technique starts with net income and makes adjustments to net income to convert it to a cash basis Cash Flows from Operating Activities If the direct method is used, the indirect method must be presented in a supplementary schedule The direct method is more informative, but the vast majority of companies present only the indirect method FASB is considering a change to require the direct method Cash Flows from Investing Activities CF from investing activities explain the changes in cash from the purchase or sale of the company’s (primarily) long-term assets Examples of investing activity includes: – cash paid for purchase of equipment, land, buildings, marketable securities (available-for-sale and equity), intangible assets, and most other long term assets – cash received from sale of equipment, land, buildings, marketable securities (available-for-sale and equity), intangible assets, and most other long term assets – cash paid for issue of non-trade notes receivable (both short-term and long-term) – cash received for repayment on non-trade notes receivable (both short-term and long-term) 10 Figure 14-6 32 Figure 14-7 33 Figure 14-8 34 Figure 14-9 35 Figure 14-10 36 Figure 14-11 37 Figure 14-12 38 Figure 14-13 39 Figure 14-14 40 Figure 14-15 41 Figure 14-16 42 Figure 14-17 43 Direct Method 44 Indirect Method 45 Copyright Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc All rights reserved Reproduction or translation of this work beyond that permitted in Section 117 of the 1976 United States Copyright Act without the express written permission of the copyright owner is unlawful Request for further information should be addressed to the Permissions Department, John Wiley & Sons, Inc The purchaser may make back-up copies for his/her own use only and not for distribution or resale The Publisher assumes no responsibility for errors, omissions, or damages, caused by the use of these programs or from the use of the information contained herein 46 [...]...
