In your reading, you learned about the Statement of Cash Flows, including activity classification. In your initial posting, address the following:
Discuss some factors or events that could lead to a positive net income but negative cash flow from operations.
“Sales on account generate revenues that increase net income, but the company has not yet collected cash from those sales. Accrued expenses decrease net income, but the company has not paid cash if the expenses are
accrued” (Miller-Nobles & Mattison, n.d.). These sales do not involve cash but
rather the “promise” of cash in the future. This could skew the ratio of net-
income to cash flow, and project not-so-promising futures with cash influx of the company. Also, gains and losses from non-operating activities. “Gains and losses from non-operating activities, such as the disposal of long-term assets (investing activity), sale of investments (investing activity), or retirement of bonds (financing activity), are included in net income” (Miller-Nobles & Mattison, n.d.). If these items are mistakenly not removed from the asset side of the balance sheet there will be an interruption in cash flow balancing when the income statement is formed.
Explain any concerns that you might have about a company that reports negative cash flows from operations for three consecutive years.
A reason for negative cash-flow could be resulted from poor accounting practices and bad tracking of assets to expenses. Also, this poor accounting practice could reflect payment of notes for basic expenses for rent, assets on
account, and numerous other purchases made on account that may not be accounted for correctly when calculating payments.
Recommend three ways that a company might improve their cash flows.
Predict future cash flows by utilizing payment receipts from the past. Evaluate management and
their wise or unwise decisions and investments affect future cash flows. Predict ability to pay off
debts and dividends, “lenders want to know whether they will collect on their loans. Stockholders want dividends on their investments. The statement of cash flows helps make these predictions” (Miller-Nobles & Mattison, n.d.).

When using the Indirect Method of preparing the Statement of Cash Flows, in the operating section, some accounts are added and some costs are subtracted. If you had to explain to someone why an increase in accounts receivable is subtracted and the opposite as to why a decrease in accounts receivable is added, what information would you relay to them? (Include in your response the concept of accruals, FASB guidelines, sales and net income on the income statement, the balance sheet). Answer should be in a paragraph form.

I know in order to find the cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method you start with the net income then add your depreciation expense and your loss on disposal equipment. Then you subtract increases in account receivable and decrease in account receivable and that gives you your net income. However, when I compute this it says all my answers are incorrect. I thought I was doing this correctly but clearly I need assistance.
