Assessment 7

·

· Cash flows fall into three categories: (1) operating activities, (2) investing activities, and (3) financing activities.

Show More

· Operating activities include activities that are involved with ordinary business operations. These activities are recognized as the changes in current assets and current liabilities, such as inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. For current assets, an increase in the account balance represents a decrease in cash. In contrast, an increase in a current liability account represents an increase in cash—meaning the company has deferred the amount of cash to be paid.

· Investing activities include the cash inflows and outflows for the investment in the company. These investments include the acquisition of a fixed asset (cash outflow), proceeds received for sale of a fixed asset (cash inflow), and repayment of a long-term receivable (cash inflow).

· Financing activities include the cash inflows and outflows with financing the company's operations. Companies can utilize a variety of financing sources. Common financing transactions are the issuance of stock (cash inflow), payment of long-term borrowings (cash outflow), or dividend payments (cash outflow).
