Using a spreadsheet to complete the statement of cash flows— indirect method

Companies can use a spreadsheet to complete the statement of cash flows. Each item that follows is recorded in the transaction analysis columns of the spreadsheet.

  1. Net income
  2. Increases in current assets (other than Cash)
  3. Decreases in current liabilities
  4. Cash payment for acquisition of plant assets
  5. Cash receipt from issuance of common stock
  6. Depreciation expense

Identify each as being recorded by a Debit or Credit in the statement of cash flows section of the spreadsheet

Preparing the direct method statement of cash flows Use the data in Short Exercise S14A-12 and your results. Prepare the business’s complete statement of cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2018, using the direct method for operating activities

The 2018 comparative balance sheet and income statement of Appleton Group, Inc. follow. Appleton disposed of a plant asset at book value during 2018

Prepare the spreadsheet for the 2018 statement of cash flows. Format cash flows from operating activities by the indirect method. A plant asset was disposed of for \(0. The cost and accumulated depreciation of the disposed asset was \)11,600. There were no sales of land, no retirement of common stock, and no treasury stock transactions. Assume plant asset and land acquisitions were for cash.

Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net income is only \(60,000. Also, two important overseas customers are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss’s accounts receivable are ballooning. The company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the best face on the company’s financial statements. Moss’s bank closely examines cash flow from operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss’s controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the slow-paying clients as long-term. He explains to the board that removing the \)80,000 increase in accounts receivable from current assets will increase net cash provided by operations. This approach may help Moss get the loan.

Requirements

  1. Using only the amounts given, compute net cash provided by operations, both without and with the reclassification of the receivables. Which reporting makes Moss look better?
  2. Under what condition would the reclassification of the receivables be ethical? Unethical?

Identifying and reporting non-cash transactions

  3. Purchased new truck with a fair market value of \(29,000. Financed it 100% with a long-term note.
  4. Retired short-term notes of \)28,000 by issuing 1,900 shares of \(3 par common stock.
  5. Paid long-term note of \)10,500 to Bank of Tallahassee. Issued new long-term note of $23,000 to Bank of Trust.
