Chapter 5 Statement of Cash Flows 191

CHAPTER 5 5-1 No. All public companies report it because the statement of cash

flows is a required statement with a required format. 5-2 A cash flow statement shows the sources of changes in cash

balances and:

a) aids in predicting future cash flows and evaluating how management's decisions generate and use of cash;

b) aids in determining a company's ability to pay dividends and interest and to pay debts when due;

c) aids in understanding and identifying changes in the mix of productive assets.

5-3 Cash equivalents are highly-liquid, short-term investments that

can be converted easily to cash with little delay. Examples include money market funds and treasury bills.

5-4 Operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities

are the three major types of activities summarized in the statement of cash flows.

5-5 Major operating activities include:

Collections Payments from customers (for sales) to suppliers (for inventory) from investees (interest & dividends) to employees (for wages) to creditors (interest) to government (taxes)

192

5-6 Major investing activities include: a) sales and purchases of property, b) sales and purchases of securities that are long-term

investments, c) making and collecting long-term loans . 5-7 Major financing activities include: a) borrowing from (nontrade) creditors, b) repaying (nontrade) creditors, c) issuing equity securities, d) repurchasing equity securities, and e) paying dividends. 5-8 Interest paid or received appears in the operating activities

section. Some commentators favor showing interest paid elsewhere since it is associated with financing.

5-9 Only increasing long-term debt increases cash. Both

repurchasing common shares and paying dividends decrease cash.

5-10 Selling fixed assets for cash and collecting a loan increase cash.

Purchasing equipment decreases cash. Purchasing fixed assets by issuing debt does not affect cash, but it should be shown in a schedule of noncash investing and financing activities that is part of the statement of cash flows.

5-11 When liabilities increase, the firm has either raised cash and

promised to pay it back later or it has preserved cash rather than paying it out to reduce growing accounts payable. So more liabilities lead to more cash. Likewise, increases in noncash assets require cash. Either cash is spent to get the asset or an asset is recorded instead of receiving cash.

5-12 Noncash investing and financing activities generally could have

been accomplished identically in substance (though not in form)


by cash transactions. For example, issuing debt to purchase an asset could have been accomplished by issuing debt for cash and then using the cash to purchase the asset. Companies should not be able to prevent disclosure of such a transaction to readers of the statement of cash flows simply by using a noncash form of transaction.

5-13 This transaction should not be shown in the body of the

statement of cash flows because it involves no cash flows. However, it should be reported in an accompanying schedule. Why? The transaction could have been accomplished by issuing stock for cash and then buying the fixed asset, whereby it would be in the statement of cash flows. Readers of statements of cash flows should be informed about such transactions.

5-14 Yes. It is important to know of the periodic need to pay off and

refinance debt. Companies with large short-term debt levels often find it an inexpensive way to borrow, but when interest rates rise or a company's financial condition worsens, refinancing may be both difficult and expensive.

5-15 The direct method and the indirect method are the two major

ways of computing net cash flow from operating activities. 5-16 The information for the direct-method cash flow statement

comes directly from entries into a companys cash account. 5-17 The required adjustments are to add noncash expenses and

losses, deduct noncash revenues and gains, add decreases in operating assets and increases in operating liabilities, and deduct increases in operating assets and decreases in operating liabilities.

194

5-18 Sales revenue is recognized on the accrual basis when it is earned and realized, not when cash is received. Therefore, cash collections from customers will not ordinarily equal sales revenue during any given period. Sometimes cash from customers arrives before it is earned (creating a liability to perform) or after it is earned (collection eliminates an account receivable).

5-19 Changes in the inventory and accounts payable accounts

explain the difference between cost of goods sold and cash payments to suppliers.

5-20 Strictly speaking, net losses, by themselves, do not drain cash.

A net loss is an excess of expenses over revenues; it is an income statement item rather than an item on a statement of cash flows. As an extreme example, equipment may be sold below its book value and cause a net loss, but cash proceeds resulting from the transaction would be an addition to cash, not a cash drain.

5-21 Cash + Noncash assets = Liabilities + Paid-in capital + Retained earnings Cash = Liabilities + Paid-in capital + Retained earnings Noncash assets 5-22 The erroneous impression is that depreciation is a source of

cash because it is added to net income to determine cash flow from operations. Depreciation is an allocation of an assets original cost to expense that does not entail a current cash outlay; that is, depreciation is a noncash expense. It is added to net income when using the indirect method only to offset its deduction in computing net income.

5-23 The newsletter reinforces the widely held erroneous impression

that depreciation provides cash. See the solution to 5-22.


5-24 Under the indirect method of preparation, depreciation is very prominent in the calculation, although not directly a source of cash. Depreciation belongs in a supporting schedule when using the direct method. Depreciation is one of the items that reconciles net income to net cash flow from operating activities.

5-25 Profitable companies often lack for cash because they are

growing quickly and must acquire inventory for future sales while waiting to collect growing receivable balances. New firms in industries such as computers, electronics, and bio-tech might experience this.

5-26 Large, non-cash expenses such as depreciation could cause

this. The airline industry might be a good example.

5-27 I would be concerned about this company. Negative cash flow from operations and new investing is not uncommon among new, high growth firms. However, at that stage in the growth pattern the financing is generally from equity and longer-term debt. The significant use of short-term debt with covenants that will restrict further debt issues and other actions of the firm suggests that the equity and long-term debt markets are not and will not be open to this client. Unless profitability and positive cash flow from operations are around the corner, this company could have serious problems raising additional capital. This may not be a good investment.

196

5-28 It is always hard to know what is in a managers mind. Microsoft experienced explosive growth. It is bought companies on a regular basis, but its available cash and liquid investments continued to grow. It does not make sense to continue to manage low yielding investments in government bonds and such. Microsoft chose to distribute this capital to investors as share buybacks and a very large one-time dividend, with a commitment to continue paying dividends. Prior to Microsofts decision to pay dividends, many analysts feared that Microsoft would choose to make even larger and perhaps ill-advised purchases of other companies.

5-29 Until 2002 Amazon had negative cash flows from operations, and it used cash for investing activities. The positive cash flow from operations indicates that Amazon is maturing. In fact, having cash flow from operations exceeding investment needs (that is, positive free cash flow) is a sign that Amazon is entering a stage where growth may be slowing but profitability is increasing.

5-30 This attitude would prevent anyone from ever investing in a brand new company with a great idea. Since these companies are often risky, this strategy might be quite appropriate for investors who were retired and relied on investments for living expenses. However, for a younger person with more ability to take risk, an appropriate exposure to young, dynamic growth companies might be quite appropriate. The characteristics referred to in the question identify the target investments as young growth companies for the most part but do not reveal much about other investment decision variables such as the industry, the age of the firm, the nature of the product, and so on.

2. Interest paid is an operating item in U.S. cash flow statements.

3. Interest paid is a cost of financing the companys activities. Like dividends are a return to suppliers of equity capital, interest is the return to suppliers of debt capital. Therefore, it is a legitimate item to be included among financing activities.

4. The FASB decided that because interest is an expense in the income statement it should be included with the other expenses among the operating activities.

Dear Mr. Salinas:

Severe shortages of cash often accompany rapid corporate growth. Profitable operations usually produce heavy supplies of cash. But the insatiable demand for cash to expand receivables, inventories, and fixed assets may deplete the cash on hand despite profitable operations. In your case, the substantial increase in the fixed asset levels was perhaps the dominant factor in consuming cash generated by operations.

Rosenbergs stress may be reduced but not eliminated. The

statement of cash flows has shown why cash has fallen by $15 million. Operating activities provided $29 million, and financing activities provided an additional $48 million, a total of $77 million. However, $92 million was needed for the net acquisition of plant assets.

Severe crunches on cash commonly accompany quick corporate

growth. There may be substantial net income and working capital provided by operations, but heavy demands for cash to expand receivables, inventories, and plant assets diminish the cash on hand despite profitable operations. Hence, most "growth" companies pay skimpy or no dividends.

5-63 (15-20 min.) Amounts are in millions. 1. Kellogg's free cash flow each year was:

(In Millions) 2002 2001 2000 Operating cash flow $ 999.9 $1,132.0 $ 880.9 Additions to properties (253.5) (276.5) (230.9) Free cash flow before dividends 746.4 855.5 650.0 Dividends (412.6) (409.8) (403.9) Free cash flow after dividends $ 333.8 $ 445.7 $ 246.1

2. Kelloggs has plenty of cash flow from operations each year to pay its capital investment needs and its dividends. Its best free cash flow was in 2001, and it fell slightly in 2002.


5-64 (20-25 min.) Amounts are in millions of dollars.

The McDonald's Corporation cash flow statement is presented on the following page with all brackets in place and with the original values for a, b, and c. From a solution perspective the following procedural matters may be useful.

1. & 2. Most of the descriptions are obvious because they use phrases such issuances or repayment. In this instance all have the same sign as in the prior year. In both investing and financing, the sign of "other" can only be determined by calculating once the others are determined. While "other" has the same sign as in the prior year, this is not reliable. Also, the sign of net short-term borrowings (repayments) is not obvious. While the total could be either positive or negative, the caption for the total is unambiguous, cash used for financing. Only a negative $606.8 million will give a total of $511.2 million as cash used for financing.

3. A. = $2,890.1 - $2,466.6 - $511.2 = -$87.7 million (a decrease). B. = $418.1 million, the ending balance from the prior year. C. = A + B = $-87.7 million + $418.1 million = $330.4 million.

4. Beginning Balance + net earnings dividends = ending balance. $18,608.3 million +$893.5 million -$297.4 million =$19,204.4 million

5. McDonalds' cash flow provided by operations has exceeded its investing needs over the two years. Therefore, there has been no need for extra financing.

5-65 (20 min.) 1. Brookline has a large and growing cash balance. Both sales and

income are declining, indicating that Brookline has not successfully developed products to replace those responsible for its peak sales in 2000. The company is apparently managing a declining situation, selling more fixed assets than it is building or acquiring. In fact, rather than investing in producing assets, Brookline seems to be putting any extra cash into passive investments such as the equity securities of other corporations. Of the $1,050,000 of net income, $1,500,000 ($900,000 + $600,000) was investment revenue. $2,100,000 was a gain on the sale of fixed assets, and these were offset by a $1,200,000 loss on the building fire. The ongoing business was generating a deficit. Without the two nonrecurring items and the investment revenue, there would have been negative net income (i.e. a loss) of $1,350,000 (= $1,050,000 $1,500,000 $2,100,000 + $1,200,000). Even after taking account of the $600,000 of depreciation and amortization, net cash flow from operations would have been a negative $750,000. Only by reducing working capital by $375,000 and receiving $900,000 in dividends did Brookline get a positive $525,000 of cash flow from operating activities.

Notice that the two largest sources of cash for Brookline are the

insurance proceeds on the fire and cash from the sale of fixed assets. Although these items have generated a healthy increase in cash this year, they cannot be expected to reoccur regularly.

228

5-65 (continued) 2. Brooklines Statement of Cash Flows follows generally accepted

accounting principles. However, it appears that the company may be trying to manage its operations to maintain a positive cash flow from operations. The intent of the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows is to highlight items that are likely to be maintained into the future. It seems that most of the positive cash flow items for Brookline are items that will not be maintained in the future.

There do not seem to be any violations of ethical standards in

Brooklines financial reports. Users of the reports should be able to interpret them correctly and to see the unfavorable situation in which Brookline finds itself, despite the overall increase in cash and the positive cash provided by operating activities. Nevertheless, if Brookline had used the direct method instead of the indirect method in its Statement of Cash Flows, its situation may have been more clearly communicated to users of the statements.


5-66 (15-20 min.)

An important lesson in learning to understand statements of cash flow is to recognize operating, investing, and financing activities. Terminology can differ from company to company. This exercise will expose students to a variety of items included in companies cash flow statements. It would be desirable, though probably unlikely, that at least one company selected by the students uses the direct method. If so, the amount of learning will increase.

By listing the items included in operating, investing, and financing categories by a variety of companies, students will begin to see the types of items included. By pruning the list to eliminate duplicates, they will learn to recognize different ways of expressing the same thing.

Requirement 4 is not necessary, but it will reinforce the group learning that took place in the first three requirements. It will also allow students to start to recognize the most common elements of cash flow statements and also to try to interpret some that are quite unusual.

5-67 (45-60 min.) Each solution will be unique and will change each year. This problem focuses on interpretation of the cash flow statement, especially comparing net cash from operating activities with net income.

1. The major reason for the increase in Starbucks net cash provided by operating activities is the increase in net earnings. In addition, depreciation and amortization significantly increased. The increases in operating assets was mainly offset by increases in operating liabilities, so the net effect was not large.

2. The main use of the $566 million was to support investing activities. In total Starbucks used $499 million for investing activities, $357 million of which was used for net additions to property plant, and equipment.

3. Starbucks certainly generated enough cash to pay cash dividends in 2003. However, apparently management decided that a better use of those funds was to use them for internal expansion both buying property, plant, and equipment and investing in the securities of other companies, such as the purchase of Seattle Coffee Company. It is not true that the shareholders got nothing. Shareholders gain returns in two ways, dividends and stock price appreciation. As Starbucks grows, its stock price grows, also. Thus, the shareholders will benefit from increases in the stock price, even though they do not get any return in the form of dividends.

5-69 (30-60 min.) NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR. This solution is based on the web site as it was in late 2004. Be sure to examine the current web site before assigning this problem, as the information there may have changed. 1. Nike used the indirect method. We know that because the statement begins with net income and adjusts for noncash items included in net income.


5-69 (continued) 2. Management indicated that cash provided by operations increased from $922 million in 2003 to $1.5 billion in 2004. The two main reasons for the increase were the increased net income and better control of working capital. By better supply chain management Nike reduced its accounts receivable and increased its accounts payable, resulting in the freeing up of additional cash. 3. Cash provided by operations exceeds net income by almost $570 million. About half of this is caused by adding back depreciation to the net income. The other half is primarily a result of better control of working capital. 4. Nike, like every company using the indirect method, adds depreciation and amortization to net income to offset their deduction in computing net income. Depreciation and amortization are expenses, but they are not cash outflows. They are correctly subtracted from revenues in computing net income, but they should not be deducted from cash receipts in computing cash from operations. Adding both back to net income just cancels the deductions taken when computing net income. 5. There were three main investing activities that used cash, purchases of short-term investments, additions to property, plant, and equipment, and acquisition of a subsidiary (Converse). 6. Nike used cash for three main financing activities, including just over $50 million net reductions in long-term debt ($153.8 million 206.6 million = -$52.8 million), repurchases of stock exceeding new issues by more than $160 million ($419.8 million - $253.6 million = $166.2 million), and cash dividends paid of nearly $180 million.
