Cash Flow Statement

C.  The indirect statement reconciles net income to cash from operations.  It does not provide the details of where cash comes from and what cash is paid for related to operations.  Cash from/paid for specific items is listed on the direct statement (a. & b.). (d) is reported on the balance sheet.

C.   The indirect statement shows total net income and does not show the components of income.  The direct statement shows cash from customers which is not the same as revenues earned. (a.) is shown on both statements in the investing section.   (b.) is shown on both statements in the financing section. (d). is the total change in cash from operating activities shown on both statements.

D.  This is a non cash gain or loss.  Non cash revenues/expenses/gains/losses are not reported on the direct cash flow statement.  They are reported as a reconciling item to net income in the operating section of the indirect statement.

B.  An increase to a current asset means that less cash was collected than sales or that more assets were paid for than was used and expensed.  Less cash received than revenues, or more cash paid than expense, is negative on the indirect cash flow statement. The change is current assets is considered when computing the amounts reported on the direct cash flow statement (d).

C.  This is a non cash expense; an expense on the income statement that was not paid this period.  Non cash expenses are added to net income on the indirect statement to get to cash generated. Non cash expenses are not considered when preparing the direct statement (d.)

Non cash activity:  Purchased $10,000 equipment with a note payable.

Important:  All current assets and liabilities must be matched with cash revenues and expenses.

Non cash revenues and expenses are not reported on the direct statement:

Ignore depreciation expense and the gain on the sale of land

Investing and Financing sections:  Only the cash part of the transaction is reported

The $10,000 borrowed to finance the equipment purchase is a non cash activity;

No cash was received, 

Equipment was received which is not cash.

Current Assets –  
Increases are negative        
Decreases are positive

Current Liabilities – 
Increases are positive      
Decreases are negative

Total cash from operating activities must be the same for the indirect method and the direct method.   The same components of revenues, expenses, current assets and current liabilities are used for both.

Direct – 
“Directly” matches revenues and expenses with the corresponding current asset and current liability

Indirect – 
Nets all revenues and expenses to start with net income, considers the non cash revenues and expenses, and then just lists the current assets and current liabilities.
