STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. It is costly to accumulate the data needed and to prepare the statement of cash flows.
2. It focuses on the differences between net income and cash flows from operating activities,
and the data needed are generally more readily available and less costly to obtain than is the
case for the direct method.
3. In a separate schedule of noncash investing and financing activities accompanying the
statement of cash flows.
4. The $30,000 increase must be added to income from operations because the amount of cash
paid to merchandise creditors was $30,000 less than the amount of purchases included in the
cost of goods sold.
5. The $25,000 decrease in salaries payable should be deducted from income to determine the
amount of cash flows from operating activities. The effect of the decrease in the amount of
salaries owed was to pay $25,000 more cash during the year than had been recorded as an
expense.
6. a. $100,000 gain
b. Cash inflow of $600,000

activities.
7. Cash flows from financing activities—issuance of bonds, $1,960,000
8. a. Cash flows from investing activities—Cash received from the disposal of fixed assets,
$15,000

net cash flow from operating activities under the indirect method.
