CHAPTER 11 – STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

1. The statement of cash flows answers the following questions about cash:

(a) Where did the cash come from during the period?
(b) What was the cash used for during the period?
(c) What was the change in cash balance during the period?

2. The three activities are:

Operating activities include the cash effects of revenue generating activities (such
as the provisions of goods and services) and activities that are not classified as
financing or investing activities.

Investing activities include:


(a) acquiring and disposing of investments and productive long-lived assets
(b) lending money and collecting loans.

Financing activities include:


(a) obtaining cash from issuing debt and repaying the amounts borrowed
(b) obtaining cash from shareholders and providing them with a return on their
investment (paying dividends).

3. Significant non-cash financing and investing activities must be disclosed in notes to


the financial statements so that users of financial reports are informed about all of the
entity’s financing and investing activities, and not only those involving cash.

4. (a) The phases of the company life cycle are the introductory phase, growth
phase, maturity phase, and decline phase.
(b) During the introductory phase, cash from operations and investing would be
expected to be negative, and cash from financing would be positive.

During the growth phase, a company would be expected to show some small
amounts of cash from operations (moving from negative to positive cash from
operations) while continuing to show negative cash from investing and
positive cash from financing.

During the maturity phase, cash from operations is positive and exceeding
investing needs. Financing cash flows become negative as the entity applies
the cash surpluses to pay dividends and retire debt.

In the decline phase, cash from operations and investment would continue to
be positive while cash from financing would be negative.

Chapter 11: Statement of cash flows

5. The advantage of the direct method is that it presents the major categories of cash
receipts and cash payments in a format that is similar to the statement of profit or
loss and familiar to statement users. Its principal disadvantage is that the necessary
data can be expensive and time-consuming to accumulate, although with advances
in computers and information technology, this cost is of declining significance.
The advantage of the indirect method is its reconciliation of profit to net cash
provided by operating activities, while its primary disadvantage is the difficulty in
understanding the adjustments that comprise the reconciliation.

6. Sales $2,000,000
Less: Increase in receivables 200,000
Cash receipts from customers $1,800,000

7. A number of factors could have caused an increase in cash despite the loss for the
period. These are:
(1) high cash revenues relative to low cash expenses
(2) sales of property, plant, and equipment
(3) sales of investments
(4) issue of debt or shares for cash.

8. Any five of the following:


Depreciation expense.
Gain or loss on sale of a non-current asset.
Increase/decrease in accounts receivable.
Increase/decrease in accounts payable.
Increase/decrease in inventory.
Increase/decrease in prepayments.
Increase or decrease in accrued expenses.
Increase/decrease in income tax payable.

9. This transaction is reported in the note or schedule to the financial statements


entitled ‘Noncash investing and financing activities’ as follows: ‘Issue of 2 million
ordinary shares in consideration for equipment’.

10. (a) The current cash debt coverage ratio is a cash-based ratio that measures
liquidity.
(b) Solvency can be measured by the cash debt coverage ratio (cash-based).
(c) Profitability can be measured by the cash return on sales ratio.

BRIEF EXERCISE 11.7

(a) Cash from operations would be lower than profit during the growth phase because
inventory must be purchased for future projected sales. Since during the growth
phase sales are projected to be increasing, inventory purchases must increase and
inventory expensed on an accrual basis would be less than inventory purchased on a
cash basis. Also, collections on accounts receivable would lag behind sales; thus,
accrual sales would exceed cash collections during the period.

(b) Cash from investing is often positive during the late maturity phase and the decline
phase because the firm may sell off excess assets that are no longer needed for
productive purposes.

(c) Cash flow from financing activities is often positive during the introductory and growth
phases as finance would often need to be raised either by issuing shares or from
borrowings for investment in assets.

Point in Time Phase


A Maturity phase
B Decline phase
C Introductory phase
D Growth phase

During the introductory phase (point C), cash from operations and investing are expected to
be negative while cash from financing would be positive. In the growth phase (point D), a
company would continue to show negative cash from operations and investing and positive
cash from financing. Cash from operations is approximately equal to profit in the maturity
phase (A) and declines in the decline phase (B), when the company also has positive
investing cash flows from selling of assets and negative financing cash flows as it retires
debt.

(d) The ratios calculated in part (c) suggest that Metro Meats Ltd’s cash generated from
operating activities in 1 year is 28.4% of it’s short term obligations. It generates
enough cash in 1 year from operating activities to meet 28.4% of the obligations that
are due within 1 year and its cash generated from operating activities is15% of its
total liabilities. It would appear that Metro Meats Ltd may have to liquidate some of its
productive assets in order to meet its short term obligations.

covered by the cash generated from its operating activities and the cash flow from
operating activities is sufficient to cover 26% of its total obligations. The cash return
on sales figure of 6.4% compares favourably to the profit ratio of 6.8%
(17,000/250,000) and there is free cash flow of $9,000 which suggests that after
investing in new property, plant and equipment to maintain operations at their current
level, there is still cash available for expansion or payment of dividends.

($124,497  $149,139) / 2 ($387,638  $334,298) / 2

(b) The current cash debt coverage uses cash generated from operations during the
period and provides a better representation of liquidity on an average day than
measures such as the current ratio. Company A’s ratio of $0..93 of cash from
operations for every dollar of current liabilities was more than Company B’s $0.75 of
cash from operations per dollar of current liabilities and indicates that Company A
was more liquid than Company B in 2017.

The cash return on sales ratio indicates a company’s ability to turn sales into dollars
(cash). Since Company A’s cash return on sales ratio was slightly higher than
Company B’s (0.22 vs. 0.18), Company A was more efficient in turning sales into
cash in 2017.

The cash debt coverage ratio shows a company’s ability to repay its liabilities from
cash generated from operating activities without having to liquidate the assets
employed in its operations. Since Company A’s cash debt coverage was more than
2 times greater than Company B’s (.83 vs. .36), Company A’s ability to repay
liabilities with cash from operations was significantly greater than Company B’s in
2017.

BUILDING BUSINESS SKILLS 11.3 INTERPRETING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Peter’s of Buckingham Ltd

All dollar amounts are in $million.

Capital expenditure ratio and free cash flow:

Capital expenditure ratio Free cash flow


2018 $7,433 ÷ $3,683 = 2.02 $7,433 - $3,683 = $3,750
2017 $7,057 ÷ $3,332 = 2.12 $7,057 - $3,332 = $3,725
2016 $7,098 ÷ $3,662 = 1.94 $7,098 - $3,662 = $3,436

,
Peter’s of Buckingham was able to finance its capital expenditure from the cash provided by
operations each year from 2016 to 2018. Free cash flow increased from 2016 to 2017 and
remained stable in 2018. The capital expenditure ratio increased in 2017 and declined in
2018, as both CFO and capital expenditure increased.

Current cash debt coverage:

The current cash debt coverage has increased consistently from 2016, when it was below
one. The improvement reflected reduced current liabilities in 2017 and increased cash
provided by operations in 2018. The increased current cash debt coverage indicates Peter’s
of Buckingham’ improved liquidity since 2016.

The cash debt coverage mirrored the current cash debt coverage. Peter’s of Buckingham
solvency has improved. It has provided more cash from operations for every dollar of
liabilities each year from 2016 to 2018. The improvement reflected reduced liabilities in 2017
and increased cash provided by operations in 2018.

BUILDING BUSINESS SKILLS 11.4 RESEARCH CASE

(a) Profit is an accrual-based measure of performance. Net cash provided by operations


includes receipts and payments in the period in which cash is paid or received, rather
than when the initiating transaction, such as the sale of goods, occurs. The difference
between cash provided by operations and profit can be explained quantitatively by
examining the reconciliation between profit and cash provided by operations,
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Students’ answers will vary with
the choice of company and year of the annual report used.

(b) Students’ answers will vary with the choice of company and year of the annual report
used.

(c) Students’ answers will vary with the choice of company and year of the annual report
used.

(d) Students’ answers will vary with the choice of company and year of the annual report
used.

MEMO

To: Peter Sole

From: Student

Date: XX/MM/YYYY

Subject: Statement of cash flows

The statement of cash flows provides information about the cash receipts and cash
payments of a firm, classified as operating, investing and financing activities. The operating
section of your company’s statement of cash flows shows the amount of cash received
through operating activities such as the sale of goods and collection of cash from customers.
Cash payments relating to operating activities such as the payment of salaries and wages
are deducted from cash receipts to determine net cash provided by operating activities.

The investing section of the statement reports the cash flows resulting from changes in
investments and other non-current assets.

The financing section of the statement reports the cash flows resulting from changes in
financial liabilities and equity, such as the issue of shares, borrowings and the payment of
cash dividends.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

BUILDING BUSINESS SKILLS 11.8 ETHICS CASE

Big Rubber Ltd

(a) It is unethical of the board to placed undue pressure on the managing director to
have a cash dividend each year to keep her job “safe”.

The managing director’s statement: ‘We must get that amount above $1million’, puts
undue pressure on the accountant and expresses a willingness to report cash flows
more favourably than would result from the application of standards and the true and
fair principle. This statement along with her statement, ‘I know you won’t let me
down’, encourages the accountant to do something unethical.

The accountant’s reclassification (intentional misclassification) of a cash inflow from a


long-term note (financing activity) issue to an ‘increase in payables’ (affecting the
calculation of cash provided by operating activities) is inappropriate and unethical. It
provided biased information intended to mislead other directors so that a dividend will
be paid in circumstances when it would otherwise not be paid.

Hence the managing director’s actions are unethical and she is requesting that the
accountant intentionally provide misleading information to users of financial
statements
And by intentionally preparing incorrect financial statements the accountant actions
are unethical as well.

(b) Are the board members or anyone else likely to discover the misclassification?
It is unlikely that any board members (other than board members who are also
officers of the company) would discover the misclassification. Board members
generally do not have detailed enough knowledge of their company’s transactions to
detect this misstatement. It is possible that an officer of the bank that made the loan
would detect the misclassification upon close reading of Big Rubber Ltd’s statement
of cash flows. It is also possible that close scrutiny of the balance sheet and notes to
the financial statements showing an increase in notes payable (long-term debt) would
reveal that there is no comparable financing activity item (proceeds from note
payable) in the statement of cash flows.

Chapter 11: Statement of cash flows

The auditors (internal or external), who have access to the detail of transactions and
journal entries, may detect the misrepresentation in their audit of the financial
statements.

Alternatively, if the company cannot pay its bills and goes into receivership – the
administrators may find the misclassification.

(c) The key stakeholders in this situation could be positively or negatively


impacted by the note reclassification as follows:

The managing director of Big Rubber Ltd benefits if the misrepresentation is not
discovered as she gets to keep her job. She could lose her job and reputation if the
intentional misrepresentation is revealed.

The Board of Directors are responsible for the presentation of the financial
statements and effective leadership. Harmful to their reputation if the
misrepresentation is discovered and particularly because it was done as a result of
undue pressure on the managing director’s job security by the board.

The accountant could lose his job and reputation if the intentional misrepresentation
is revealed. Benefit: The accountant could keep the managing director happy and
reduce conflict at work.

The shareholders of Big Rubber Ltd could benefit in the short term by receiving a
dividend. In the long term this payment might put the firm at financial risk.

Users of Big Rubber’sfinancial statements could make poor investing and lending
decisions

(d) What ethical actions could the accountant take? Explain the implications of these
actions.

First the accountant could talk to the managing director and refuse to make the
change. The negative consequence is that it might result in harming the relationship
with the managing director and might even get fired. The positive outcome is the
accountant has acted professionally and ethically. If the managing director will not
listen, the accountant can approach to board to expose the undue pressure. If the
board will not back down, then the accountant has no choice but to go outside the
organisation. The accountant could approach the auditor, the accounting professional
bodies or a government authority to report the undue pressure. The implications are
the accountant has acted professionally and ethically, however, will now be seen as
a ‘whistle blower’.

BUILDING BUSINESS SKILLS 11.9 SUSTAINABILITY

Part A

(1) the nature of the environmental laws that have come into effect in some countries Apple
Inc operates in is the requirement to provide customers the ability to return the electrical
product they purchased form the company at the end of its useful life at no charge to the
customer which places the responsibility and the cost for environmentally safe disposal or
recycling of components with the Apple Inc.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is a Eurpean
community (EU) directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) which
became law in Europe 2003. The directive imposes the responsibility for the disposal of
waste electrical and electronic equipment on the manufacturers of the equipment. Those
companies should establish an infrastructure for collecting WEEE, in such a way that "Users
of electrical and electronic equipment from private households should have the possibility of
returning WEEE at least free of charge". Also, the companies are compelled to use the
collected waste in an ecologically-friendly manner, either by ecological disposal or by
reuse/refurbishment of the collected WEEE.

(2) Compliance with these environmental laws could materially adversely affect the
Company as it would require them to develop the infrastructure to collect products at the end
of their life (for example you may have seen the mobile phone recycling bins located in
various phone re-seller shops), as well as the infrastructure or the outsourcing to enable the
recycling and or disposal of the electrical products in an environmentally friendly manner. All
of this takes time and resources which can have negative impact on the finances and
operations of Apple Inc’s business.
