Question: Computing cash flows from investing and financing activities Use the data in Short Exercise S14-5 to complete this exercise. Prepare Winding Road Cellular’s statement of cash flows using the indirect method for the year ended April 30, 2018. Assume beginning and ending Cash are \(48,000 and \)52,200, respectively.

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.
