1. (TCO F) What is the primary purpose of the statement of cash flows?

(Points : 5)
a) Show the companys ability to meet its obligations, pay dividends, and any
needs for financing.
b) Show the companys cash flow prospects.
c) Show the cash payments and cash receipts for the period.
d) Show the operating, financing, and investing activities for the period.

2. (TCO F) Which of the following is not true? (Points : 5)

a) Companies classify some cash transactions relating to investing or financing
activities as operating activities.
b) Net income is not usually the same as net cash flow from operating activities
under the accrual basis of accounting.
c) The FASB encourages the use of the indirect method over the direct method
for the statement of cash flows.
d) Companies report cash flows from purchases and sales of securities as
operating activities.
Reasoning: FASB encourages the direct method, but does not require it
necessarily to report it using the direct method.
Point 1:
Option c) is not true as FASB encourages the use of direct method. The proof for
the same is given in the following links:
http://www.inc.com/encyclopedia/cash-flow-statement.html (Under Methods of
preparing the cash flow statement)
http://www.nysscpa.org/cpajournal/2004/1004/essentials/p58.htm (1st para)
http://books.google.co.in/books?id=KzcGWju3OHgC&pg=PA33-IA30&lpg=PA33IA30&dq=fasb+encourages+direct+method&source=bl&ots=Xx7tFIZZCR&sig=h

=0CEgQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=fasb%20encourages%20direct
%20method&f=false (3rd para)
As per the above links, FASB is encouraging direct method and hence I have
marked option c) as answer.

Point 2:
The cash flows from purchase or sale of securities need to be reported under
Investing activities and NOT operating activities. Only the gain or loss from
sale of securities will come under operating activities as adjustment to net
income. So, as per the wording given, option d) is also a not true statement and
can be marked as an answer. But, till now, if I mark 2 answers, students come to
me saying that only one answer should be marked. So, I guess there is a printing
error in the options. Please check for printing errors as your query of option d)
answer is also right. There can be printing errors because even in question 3, as I
have mentioned below, the answer is $276,500 but the option has only $276,000.
So, kindly check.

Note: We add any decrease in current assets as it indicates release of cash. We

deduct increase in current assets as it indicates blockage of cash. We deduct
decrease in current liabilities as it indicates payment of cash. We add increase in
current liabilities as it indicates postponement of payment and hence cash
availability for other purposes.

(b) Direct method

Calculations required to proceed with direct method
Collection from customers = Sales+ Decrease in Accounts receivable
=250,000 + 2400
252,400
Purchases = Cost of goods sold - Decrease in Inventories
=109,000 - 3,600
=105,400
Payments to suppliers = Purchases - Increase in Accounts payable
=105,400 - 15,000
=90,400
Payments towards operating expenses =
Operating expenses + Decrease in Salaries payable
-Depreciation expense
=85,000 + 12,000 - 14,700
=82,300
Payment towards income tax =
Income tax expense - Increase in deferred tax liability
+ Income tax payable
=22,400 - 1,800 + 1,400
=22,000
