Analysis of statement of cash flows

Dillip Lachgar is the president and majority shareholder of Argon Inc., a small retail store chain. Recently, Dillip submitted a loan application for Argon Inc. to Compound Bank. It called for a $600,000, 9%, 10-year loan to help finance the construction of a building and the purchase of store equipment, costing a total of $750,000. This will enable Argon Inc. to open a store in the town of Compound. Land for this purpose was acquired last year. ‘The bank’s loan officer requested a statement of cash flows in addition to the most recent income statement, balance sheet, and retained earnings statement that Dillip had submitted with the loan application.

As a close family friend, Dillip asked you to prepare a statement of cash flows. From the records provided, you prepared the following statement:

Argon Inc. Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended December 31, 2016
Cash flows from operating activities:
Net income....................................... $ 300,000
Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash flow from operating activities:
Depreciation............................................... 84,000
Gain on sale of investments.................................. (30,000)
Changes in current operating assets and liabilities:
Decrease in accounts receivable............................ 21,000
Increase in inventories..................... (42,000)
Increase in accounts payable.............................. 30,000
Decrease in accrued expenses payable...................... (6,000)
Net cash flow from operating activities.......................... $357,000
Cash flows from investing activities:
Cash received from investments sold............................ $ 180,000
Less: Cash paid for purchase of store equipment.................. (120,000)
Net cash flow from investing activities........................... 60,000
Cash flows from financing activities:
Cash paid for dividends......................................... $ (126,000)
Net cash flow used for financing activities........................ (l 26,000)
Increase in cash................................................... $291,000
Cash at the beginning of the year................................... 108.000
Cash at the end of the year......................................... $ 399,000
Schedule of Noncash Financing and investing Activities:
Issued common stock for land $ 250,000

After reviewing the Statement, Dillip telephoned you and commented, “Are you sure this statement is right” Dillip then raised the following questions:

  1. 1. “How can depreciation be a cash flow?”
  2. 2. “Issuing common stock for the land is listed in a separate schedule. This transaction has nothing to do with cash! Shouldn’t this transaction be eliminated from the statement”
  3. 3. “How can the gain on the sale of investments he a deduction from net income in determining the cash flow from operating activities?”
  4. 4. “Why does the bank need this statement anyway? They can compute the increase in cash from the balance sheets for the last two    years.”

After jotting down Dillip’s questions, you assured him that this statement was “right.” But To alleviate Dillip’s concern, you arranged a meeting for the following day.

  • a. How would you respond to each of Dillip’s questions?
  • b. Do you think that the statement of cash flows enhances the chances of Argon Inc. receiving the loan? Discuss.
