...Companies prepare the statement of cash flows differently from the three other basic financial statements. First, it is not prepared from an adjusted trial balance. It requires detailed information concerning the changes in account balances that occurred between two periods. An adjusted trial balance will not provide the necessary data. Second, the statement of cash flows deals with cash receipts and payments. As a result, the company must adjust the effects of the use of accrual accounting to determine cash flows. The information to prepare this statement usually comes from three sources: • Comparative balance sheets, indicates the amount of the changes in assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equities from the beginning to the end of the period. • Current income statement, helps determine the amount of cash provided or used by operations during the period. • Additional information, includes transaction data needed to determine how cash was provided or used during the period. (Kimmel, P.D. Weygand, J.J. & Kieso, D.E., 2009) A company must convert net income from an accrual basis to a cash basis. The indirect method adjusts net income for items that do not affect cash. Companies favor the indirect method for two reasons: (1) It is easier and less costly to prepare, and (2) it focuses on the differences between net income and net cash flow from operating activities. The direct method shows operating cash receipts and payments, making it more consistent with the objective...

...Q1-1) Discuss four different methods of valuation, with a focus on their advantages and limitations. Answer: There are several methods of valuations, below are just a few: Discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) – this is considered one of the most thorough methods to value a company due to the fact that relies on free cash flows. There are two ways using the DCF method one, using the adjusted present value or the weighted average cost of capital, which shows a company how much capital is required for future income flow. Using this method gives us a more realistic thing to an intrinsic stock value, ratios may not give investors a clear value if the market is over/under valued. Some disadvantages would be that it’s based on future projections and assumptions if analysis do not have the abilities to make confident and sound future projection then this method could lead to disastrous future results. This method also viewed as a moving target and only for short term investing, requiring constant analysis and modifications. Comparable Transaction Method – this method focuses on analyzing similar transactions in the past and the market values that are similar to the company that is being purchased or looking at being purchased. Companies can look at several transactions of similar companies to help them determine a value. This value is real data and not based on future projections. Some disadvantages of this method would be the lack of financial data among private companies and past...

...“A financial statement is the primary means of communicating the financial information of an organization to its external users” (Edmunds, 2010). They show recordings of obligations and are used for making decisions. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the meaning and significance of the data contained. As stated in the text, there are three different methods that is used for examining financial statements. They are horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. Horizontal analysis is one of the most common used techniques to analyze financial statements. The changes from period to period or year to year and over time are observed by absolute amounts or percentages. “Percentage uses the formula (subsequent year – previous year / previous year) * 100” (Zelman, McCue & Glick, 2009). Horizontal analysis is done for the income statement and the balance sheets. Using horizontal analysis is important. It states the facts very simple and makes analyzing more simple. “Vertical analysis uses percentages to compare individual components of financial statements to a key statement figure” (Edmunds, 2010). It analyzes the income statement and the balance sheet. It is also a common used method but it’s used more frequently to monitor annual changes. A benefit of vertical analysis is the ability to evaluate comparisons. The formula used for this analysis is “(line item of interest / base line item) * 100” (Zelman, McCue & Glick, 2009). Ratio analysis is the studying of...
