ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. The statement of cash flows reports the cash receipts, cash
payments, and net change in cash resulting from the operating,
investing, and financing activities of a company during a period, in
a format that reconciles the beginning and ending cash balances.
The statement of cash flows is useful to all readers because it allows
them to assess the following aspects of a company’s financial
position:
• the reasons for the difference between net income and cash
provided (used) by operating activities
• the cash generated by (used in) investing and financing
transactions during a period
• the company’s ability to generate future cash flows
Creditors in particular, are concerned about the borrower’s ability to
generate cash to repay loans and service debt. The cash flow
statement helps creditors assess risk.

and indirect methods will produce the same net cash provided by
operating activities.

13. The principal amount advanced by the bank and later repaid
involves borrowing and repayment transactions that need to be
reported under financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
The timing of the loan principal repayments will lead to a portion of
the loan principal being classified as current liabilities. This
classification does not change the nature of the cash activity with
the bank. Both the current and non-current principal portions are
treated together for cash flow reporting purposes.

16. (a) The corporate life cycle consists of four phases: introductory,
growth, maturity, and decline.
(b) In the introductory and growth phases, we don’t usually expect
to see a company generate positive cash from its operating
activities until part way through the growth phase. Because the
company is making significant investments in its long-lived
assets, cash will be used by investing activities. During the first
two phases, cash generated by financing activities is usually
positive as debt and equity are issued to pay for the
investments and cover the operating activities shortfall. These
patterns reverse in the maturity and decline phases of the
cycle. In the decline phase, cash from operating activities
decreases. Cash from investing activities is positive as the
company sells off its excess assets, before starting to decline.
Cash is used for financing activities as the company continues
to pay off its debt.

18. Creditors may be concerned about the company’s ability to repay its
obligations over the long-term. The lack of cash flows from operating
activities may be of concern to investors for several reasons. First,
the decrease in cash flows may have an adverse effect on the
company’s share price. In addition, some investors may be
concerned that the company will not generate enough cash to pay
dividends in the future. This concern is supported by the declining
free cash flow, which also indicates the company is generating less
cash from operating activities to pay future dividends and to expand
the business.

19. If net capital expenditures and dividends paid exceed cash provided
by operating activities, then free cash flow will be negative.
*20. Net cash provided by operating activities under the direct method is
the difference between cash revenues and cash expenses. The
direct method adjusts the accrual-based revenues and expenses
directly to reflect the cash-based revenues and expenses, which
combine to equal "net cash provided by operating activities."

would not appear on the statement of cash flows prepared using the
direct method because these are not cash flow items. However, the
gross proceeds received when the assets are sold would be
reported in the statement of cash flows, as investing activities.

(b) Free cash flow provides better information than net cash provided by
operating activities because it includes the corporation’s ability to sustain
capital asset replacements and additions, and its ability to distribute
dividends to its shareholders.
(a) Based on the changes in cash flows from 2014 and 2015, Apple Inc. is
likely in the growth stage of the corporate life cycle. This is due to the
continued increases in cash used by investing activities and the decline in
cash used by financing activities.
(c) As a shareholder of Apple Inc., I would be pleased with the large increase
in the free cash flow generated in 2015 compared to 2014.
(d) The amount of the dividends paid exceeds the amount of capital
expenditures because all necessary capital expenditures have been made
throughout the previous years, as needed and also because of the nature
of Apple’s business, which is not capital intensive.
Thus, cash receipts from customers must have equalled = $160,000 [$170,000

(b) In 2018, Dagenais suffered a significant decline in cash. This decline was
principally caused by the repurchase of common shares and the
mismanagement of accounts receivable and inventory. The increase in
accounts receivable is most likely attributable to difficulty in collecting these
receivables and the increase in inventory has probably occurred because
of slowing inventory turnover. Under the circumstances, management
could have postponed the payment of dividends. This year the negative
cash from operations may have led to the disposal of furniture in an attempt
to generate cash to finance day to day operations. When a company
cannot generate positive cash flows from its operating activities and drains
its cash balances, bankruptcy will follow without the support of creditors
like a bank or the support of shareholders who are willing to provide more
equity to the company.

EXERCISE 13-10
(a) Company A and Company C both show a source of increase in their cash
from operating activities of $25,000 when compared to net income or loss.
Since the amount of depreciation is assumed to be the same, both
companies show an equal ability in managing non-cash working capital,
which is better than Company B.
(b) When a company has cash provided by investing activities, it arises from
an excess of cash proceeds received from the sale of non-current assets
such as long-term investments or property, plant, and equipment over
amounts paid to purchase these assets. This can occur for a number of
reasons, including the timing of these cash flows. For example, if a
company sells such assets first but then replaces them later in a
subsequent year, cash provided from investment activities will be shown.
Another reason why this may occur is because the company is not
generating sufficient cash flows from operations and must sell off non-
current assets in order to obtain funds.
(c) Company A is the most likely to have sufficient cash flows to pay down debt
or pay out dividends because it is the only company of the three that has
provided positive cash flows from operations.
(d) Company A is the most capable of growing the size of its business
operations as its operations have generated the most cash and this made
it able to spend $50,000 on investing activities, to pay out cash for financing
activities, and still increase its cash position by the end of the year.

(b) On the surface, Sylvester Ltd. looks as if it is managing its noncash working
capital efficiently. It decreased its accounts receivable and inventory while
at the same time increased its accounts payable. A creditor might find this
alarming because suppliers don’t look as if they are being paid on time. As
well, a decline in inventory might not necessarily mean that the company
is making sure that inventory is on hand to secure sales.
(c) The purchase of the building was financed partially from the issuance of
common shares and mostly from increasing the bank loan. The amount of
the investment for the building is disproportionate to the amount of the
retained earnings, which in turn was substantially depleted from a large
dividend payment. Net income is modest and is made up of a one-time
gain realized on the disposal of the old building. The net income level will
decline in the future as a result of servicing the additional debt. Sylvester
Ltd. could not afford to purchase the building without external financing.

(b) Alton Ltd. did not manage its noncash working capital efficiently. It
increased both its accounts receivable and inventory while at the same
time decreased its accounts payable. A creditor might find this an alarming
trend. Alton runs the increased risk of not being able to collect receivables
and sell its entire inventory in the future.
(c) The banker would be worried for the reasons mentioned in part (b) but also
for Alton’s poor performance in obtaining cash from operating activities.
The purchase of the building was financed completely with debt and no
equity. Although some cash was obtained from selling land, this sale was
done at a large loss. Cash paid in dividends was more than three times the
size of the net income and additional cash was spent buying back common
shares. The amount of the investment for the building is disproportionate
to the amount of the retained earnings, which in turn was substantially
depleted from the large dividend payment. The net income level will decline
in the future as a result of servicing the additional debt and depreciating
the new building. Alton Ltd. could not afford to purchase the building
without external financing.

PROBLEM 13-9A
(a) Although Second Cup had a loss from the year, it managed to generate
positive cash flows from operating activities. The overall decrease in cash
was absorbed by the high beginning balance of cash leaving an ending
cash balance that is severely reduced.
Starbucks provided cash from operating activities that nearly equalled the
amount of cash consumed by investing and financing activities. The
company generated 36% more cash from operating activities than net
income [($3,749.1 – $2,757.4) ÷ $2,757.4]. Cash decreased modestly by
the end of the year.
(b) Starbucks appears to be in the stronger cash position based on its ability
to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to cover the uses of cash
from investing and financing activities, concluding with a small reduction of
cash for the year.

(b) Both methods are acceptable under both IFRS and ASPE. I would
recommend that the company use the direct method to prepare its
operating activities section. Users usually find this method to be more
informative because it shows cash receipts from customers and other
sources and cash payments for major categories. It is also the preferred
method by the standard setters. Nonetheless, many companies prefer to
use the indirect method because it is easier to prepare and their accounting
system may not be adapted to capture the transaction data required in the
direct method.

(b) Anderson Ltd. did not manage its noncash working capital efficiently. It
increased its accounts receivable and inventory while at the same time
decreasing its accounts payable. Taken together this shows a bad trend
and possible issues with overstocking or slowing sales.
(c) The purchase of the building was financed primarily through the use of
bank loans, which are now at a fairly high level. The required repayments
to the bank loan this year were $26,000 and this may rise in the future
because of the additional debt incurred this year. To pay for this, the
company has only generated $32,000 from operating activities. The bank
will be concerned about this. Furthermore, the bank will notice that
dividends paid were $1,000 greater than the amount of cash derived from
operating activities and the bank may ask for dividends to be reduced.

(b) Summerville Ltd. did a great job managing its noncash working capital
efficiently. It decreased both its accounts receivable and inventory while at
the same time increased its accounts payable. A creditor might find this
alarming because suppliers don’t look as if they are being paid on time. As
well, a decline in inventory might not necessarily mean that the company
is making sure that inventory is on hand to secure sales.

PROBLEM 13-8B
(a)
Although Microsoft has a negative free cash flow, this result can be
explained by the distribution of cash for a large dividend and the substantial
amount of capital expenditures made during the year. Had Google done
proportionate investments and distributions, it too would have experienced
a negative free cash flow. The results of the calculation do indicate that
Google has a better free cash flow, because it is positive.
(b) Microsoft has been profitable for many years during its growth phase of its
life cycle and has amassed significant amounts of cash allowing it to pay
dividends. Microsoft is currently in the mature phase of its life cycle, with
less growth year over year in its stock price. Consequently, shareholders
are demanding a return on their investments in the form of dividends.
Google, on the other hand is in the growth phase of its life cycle and needs
to use the cash it generates from operations to finance its growth. It is not
unusual in that situation for companies not to pay dividends.
PROBLEM 13-9B
(b) McDonald’s is in the stronger position. One would need to look at the
detailed information behind the totals of each activity. Specific large
transactions may have offsetting effects in a particular cash flow activity.
As a consequence, the netting of amounts masks the real effects of those
transactions, which may have been unique to that fiscal year. More
information in terms of past trends would also be helpful to properly
compare these two companies.

(b) Both methods are acceptable under both IFRS and ASPE. I would
recommend that the company use the direct method to prepare its
operating activities section. Users usually find this method to be more
informative because it shows cash receipts from customers and other
sources, and cash payments for major categories. It is also the preferred
method by the standard setters. Nonetheless, many companies prefer to
use the indirect method because it is easier to prepare and their accounting
system may not be adapted to capture the transaction data required in the
direct method.

(b) Nackawic’s cash position has increased primarily because of the amount
of cash generated from its operating activities. Cash from operating
activities increased the company’s cash account by $79,900. Some of this
cash was used to purchase equipment and pay dividends with additional
cash generated from selling common shares. Sufficient cash remained at
the end of the year to increase its cash position by $35,450.

(b) North West generated cash from operating activities in the amount of
$132,987,000 for the year ended January 31, 2016 and $115,086,000 for
the year ended January 31, 2015.
(c) The most significant investing activity for North West is cash used for the
purchase of property and equipment, in the amount of $63,179,000 The
largest use of cash from financing activities was from the payment of
dividends, in the amount of $58,210,000.
(d) Cash increased by $8,114,000 for the year ended January 31, 2016, and
by $6,776,000 for the year ended January 31, 2015.
(e) North West increased its spending for property and equipment for the year
ended January 31, 2016 by approximately $14 million compared to the
previous year. Dividends increased by about $2 million. These increases
were made possible by an increase of about $18 million in the amount of
cash generated by operating activities.
(f) North West used the cash generated from operating activities to increase
capital expenditures and dividends paid, as mentioned in (e) above. An
increase in long-term debt was closely offset by intangible asset additions
of $12,804,000. Besides these three differences, other cash trends were
similar when comparing the two years.
(b) Increasing the cash flows from operating activities by using the
classification choices described in part (a) will provide for a larger (better)
free cash flow as the amount of cash flow from operating activities will be
larger, leaving more cash remaining after covering capital expenditures
and dividend payments.

(a) During 2017, the purchase of property, plant, and equipment in the amount
of $2 billion dollars was financed differently by the three companies. While
some of the financing came from using cash generated from operations, A
Limited chose to finance the balance needed with a blend of debt and
equity financing that was similar in amount. B Limited chose to use only
equity and C Limited financed with mostly debt. For 2018, expansion
continued at an even greater pace for A Limited, which spent $2,350 million
on property, plant, and equipment, while B and C acquired far fewer of
these assets. A Limited financed this higher level of expenditures by using
net cash from operating activities and by issuing more common shares.
(b) C Limited is the only company that had a decrease in the net cash from its
operating activities in 2018. This happened because too much cash was
tied up in accounts receivable and inventory. The increases in these
current assets, particularly during 2018, caused a large reduction of cash
that could have been used instead to reduce the high levels of debt.
(c) C Limited likely did not have a choice to pay down its bank loans in 2018.
It was forced to do so by the bank. C Limited had poor performance in
managing accounts receivable and inventory that in turn caused a shortage
of cash needed to satisfy the bank’s concerns with regard to its liquidity
and solvency. C Limited resorted to the desperate measure of selling off
some its non-current assets at a loss of $70 million to raise the cash
needed to pay down the bank loans.
CT13-3 (CONTINUED)
(g) If I was interested in owning the shares of one of these companies, I would
likely not invest in C Limited due to the build up of inventory and accounts
receivable shown in the operating activities section of the statement of
cash flows. I would also be concerned about a management team that
raised funds in 2017 to buy non-current assets, and then sold some of them
in 2018 at a loss. As an investor, I would like the fact that A Limited is
growing, but I would like to know at what point the expansion occurred in
2018. If it occurred early in the year, one would expect, given the larger
asset base of this company, that net income would be higher. However, if
the expansion occurred very late in 2018, the extra asset base could trigger
much higher amounts of net income next year compared to 2018. On the
other hand, B Limited seems to be conservatively financed with little debt,
so it has the potential to expand very easily in the future. So before making
a decision, I would need more information about the success of A Limited’s
2018 expansion before buying their shares.

The free cash flow as a percentage of operating cash flows is declining but
not at the same rate as the rate of increase in the cash provided by
operating cash flows. We can conclude that the amount of investments and
distributions are in line with the performance of the business and its ability
to generate cash from operations. Apple is reacting to the needs of its
shareholders, which is consistent with the responses in part (a) above.
(c) The president’s statement, “We must get that amount above $1 million,”
puts undue pressure on the controller. This statement along with his
statement, “I know you won’t let me down, Leland,” encourages Leland to

(b) ABC is able to generate a significant amount of cash from its operating
activities—in excess of its net income. It uses cash for both its investing
activities and financing activities. The use of cash in investing activities
indicates that ABC is investing in its property and equipment, which is a
good sign for future growth. Its use of cash in financing activities indicates
that it is either repaying more debt than it is raising (through debt or equity)
or using cash for dividends. From the additional information, we can
determine that an $80,000 dividend was paid.
CT13-7 (CONTINUED)
(c) As we saw above, ABC is generating positive cash from its operating
activities. While its free cash flow is reduced (because of its investment in
capital expenditures and relatively large dividend), it has little debt and is
able to pay a generous dividend. Overall, the company appears to report
strong net income and cash flow, which are likely two of the financial
reasons Software Solutions and Compuhelp are interested in acquiring
ABC, in addition to strategic reasons discussed earlier.
(d) The Anthonys will likely favour Software Solutions over Compuhelp.
Software Solutions appears to have a stronger financial position. It has
more cash available to pay for its investment in ABC. Compuhelp does not
pay a dividend and has decreased its overall cash position during 2019.
Compuhelp’s free cash flow is significantly less than that of Software
Solutions.
