...L 11 ESSAY ACC 230 - Cash Flow Methods By definition, the statement of cash flows is, “a financial statement that shows the sources and all of the uses of cash for an accounting period.” (Kemp & Waybright, 2013; 2010, p. 586) The statement of cash flows is also called the cash flow statement. Cash is the most important life line of a business. Without cash, the business cannot successfully maintain stability. Furthermore, without knowing where the cash is coming from, and going to, investors are more likely to not be attracted to the business. Businesses are much like people, in the sense that they are constantly worried about cash flow. They need a statement to explain to them where the cash is going, where it is coming from, and where they started to where they have come in the period. This is the statement of cash flows. The statement of cash flows categorizes the uses and sources of cash into three categories, operating activities, financing activities, and investing activities. The first category is operating activities. Operating activities are a part of the uses of cash, as well as, the sources of cash in a business. Uses of cash for a business are obviously how the business uses the cash, or in more basic terms how it spends its money (cash out). The sources of cash are respectively, the places the business gets its money (cash in). Operating cash flows, using the indirect method, includes net income, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses, gains and...

...Case - Statement of Cash Flow: Three Examples Exhibit #1 Alpha Corp: In this example we have a case in which years 89, 90 and 91 net income is less than net cash provided by operating activities. One of the major reasons for this appears to have been depreciating high cost of equipment. The depreciation is trending downward over the three-year period indicating less long-term assets are being purchased/capitalized to run operations. While depreciation does not involve cash, it does impact net income. In addition, account payables have been decreasing over the last two years and significant cash has been used in the last year to pay the liability. In 1990 there are significant costs associated with restructuring activities. There were costs in all 3 years but 1990 was almost triple that of 89 or 91. Cash flow from operations did not cover investments in depreciable equipment, capitalized software or dividends paid for all three years. The difference was trending in that operations would soon be able to cover these accounts. Dividends paid out decreases over the three-year period and were not paid in 91. Investing in these types of assets decreased over the 3 years. Funds to cover these costs came from long-term debt as well as the sell of class B stock. It is important to point out that Alpha sold off more than it acquired in new depreciable assets. Alpha is also spending cash on long-term debt as a primary source of financing cash flow. It appears in the past...

...period in which their economic substance is realized not when they got them or paid for in cash. Revenues are realized when earned whether or not they are received in cash. Incurred expenses are matched, to related revenues. It doesn’t matter if they or not such expenses are actually paid in cash. This means that credit sales from 2010 will become part of the final accounts of 2010 even if they don’t get the cash in late February 2011. We all know that utility bills are billed a month after the service has been used. You usually pay your gas bill for November in the month of December. So what will happen is if a business has a year end of December you will most likely pay December’s bill in January. Although it is still unpaid it is a part of 2010’s statement as an accrual. This method of accounting gives a better picture of what we are earning by including both cash and non-cash items when it comes to calculating profit. When calculating profit the accrual does not only take the actual eleven months electricity bill it also includes the one month bill that hasn’t been paid, but the business has used that electricity. The bill is still a valid business expense for the year and needs to be recorded as that year’s expense as such. You will have to pay the bill sooner or later, but it is in the period which we used that electricity. This introduces us to the concept of depreciation. It is a non cash expense but it is necessary to how much we have used of our assets in order to...

...Solution 1) Describe Linear Technologies pay-out policy. As we can see from Exhibit 1 Linear Technology has been paying dividend steadily since 1992. Thus the pay-out policy is a large part in dividends. Its first dividend is paid in 1992. The dividend policy has grown over the years. This may be so that the company projects itself as a less risky share and thus also gaining investors faith. The investors buy its shares and thus increase its demand. This helps to gives positive signals to the investors signalling that the company is stable and can generate earnings steadily. This hypothesis is gains standing from the dividend hypothesis theory. Also analysing the numbers we see that Linear started its dividends with a low payout ratio of around 14.6%. It is known from general trends that investors out faith in early dividend paying firms but punish them if the company reduces its dividend over time. The management of Linear Technologies knows this fact and have increased the dividend over the years. Linear started with a modest pay-out of $0.00625 dividends/share but then increased its dividends steadily by $0.00125 every four quarters. After 2000 it increased this by $0.01 every year. In quarter 3 of 2003 Linear Technology paid a dividend of $0.05 with a pay-out ratio of 27.6%. Even after the tech bubble burst in 2002 the firm has increased its dividend thus signalling to the investors its strength. At this point its pay-out ratio was in the range of 25% to 30%. This was...

...of regular and irregular cash inflows and outflows for a business organisation Cash flow- Is the total amount of money being transferred into and out of a business, especially as affecting liquidity.

...The Role of Cash in a Business Crucial Lesson Taught to People in Taking First Aid Always check first if a victim is breathing, and if not, deal with that first. Statement of Cash Flow There have been instances where people have tended to bleeding wounds, only to find that the victim died from, say, a blocked air passage. Many things are essential to life, but in the short term, nothing is more important than breathing, in that an absence creates the most immediate life threatening "crisis". Cash as Breath of a Business Anyone running a business should think of cash as breath. Cash, in a broad sense, means a positive bank account or the access to a credit line. Another way of thinking: "If I write a check, will the bank cash it"? The Role of Cash in a Business The Role of Cash in a Business Cash as Breath of a Business (Cont’d) Cash as Breath of a Business (Cont’d) When a business loses access to funds, suppliers stop shipping and workers stop showing up at work. Inevitably a creditor will take steps to put the firm in receivership, at which point the owners have legally lost the ability to operate the business. A company going into receivership is normally broken up: assets are sold, often at a steep discount, to recover funds to payoff creditors. The management of a business sometimes may be so focused on longerterm issues: (1) bringing a new product to market (2) working with an existing customer (3) attracting new investors They might...

...Background Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford and 11 investors in 1903. The company is based out of Dearborn, Michigan. Ford Motors is a worldwide company, with 335,000 employees, operating in 25 countries and on six continents. Ford changed the way cars were made with their innovative assembly production methods. Having gone public in 1956, the company grew to become the world’s largest truck manufacturer and the second largest total automotive manufacturer. In addition to manufacturing cars and trucks, they are involved in producing components/systems and are engaged in financing and rentals. Ford experienced significant growth derived from company acquisitions. The acquisitions leading up to 2000 consisted of Hertz Co., Jaguar, Volvo, and Land Rover. Auto industry sales are sensitive to the economic cycle. Echoing this notion, Ford’s sales tend to experience volatility during times of economic recessions and booms. In these turbulent times, the company has a high variability of cash on hand and equity market value. In 1999, Ford had a net income of $7.2 billion (approximate 4.5% profit margin), and revenues of $162.6 billion. Ford’s automotive segment accounts for 85% of total revenue. Their US car and truck sales are responsible for 24.1% of the total market share. As of 2000, Ford had 1.15 billion common shares of stock and 70.9 million shares of Class B stock. Among these two shares, the Ford family held all Class B shares, which gave them special voting...
