... Malcolm Mumford 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...

...define as prepare a statement of cash flows using both direct and indirect methods, apply ratio, vertical, and horizontal analyses to financial statements and prepare journal entries associated with the issuance of preferred and common stocks and the declaration and payment of dividends. Cash flows will identify a company's sources and uses of cash. Companies are required to prepare a statement of cash flows in their annual reports because it contains essential data for others, such as lenders and investors, who make economic decisions about the companies. It shows the bases and uses of cash and is a basis for cash flow analysis. Companies produce and consume cash in different ways, so the cash flow statement is divided into three sections: cash flows from operations, financing and investing. Basically, the sections on operations and financing show how the company gets its cash, while the investing section shows how the company spends its cash. Each section can give you a snap shot of a company’s cash management viewpoint. This can also tell you whether dividends have actually been paid out or whether they are accruing. According to Financial accounting “Operating activities include receipts and payments from normal business operations; investing activities include the purchase or sale of long-term asset and investments; and financing activities relate to borrowing money and making payments to creditors and investors” then you have indirect statement of cash flow method does not...

...Convert WRDS OUTPUT Building a Financial Statement Analysis and Valuation Spreadsheet Income Statement-66 This case starts with raw financial statements and then a) develops standardized financial statements, b) constructs a statement of cash flows, c) builds all the key ratios, d) links forecast inputs to future financial statements, and e) builds discounted cash flow and residual income valuation models based on the forecasts. The result is a simplified version of eVal4, the spreadsheet model that is provided with “Equity Valuation and Analysis” by Russell Lundholm and Richard Sloan, but one that you should completely understand (because you built it yourself!). To save you some time, many of the cells are completed; you only need to finish the blue-shaded ones. There are five parts to this case, corresponding to the five tasks listed above. The case requires two files: Building eVal4.xls and General Mills 10-K.pdf. Part A: Standardized Financial Statements The financial statements filed with the SEC are not standardized, meaning that the company is free to report and label line items however they please (within obvious limits). For this reason, there is an intermediary business that takes the filed financial statements and sorts the line items into a predetermined set of accounts. We will explore this important part of the reporting process in this part of the case. 1) Find the “as reported” financial statements in General Mills’s 10-K filing (in the...
