Chapter 15, Problem 15.21AE
Sustainability and the statement of cash flows (Learning Objective 1)
Webber Plastics is a manufacturer that takes in post-consumer plastics (e.g., empty milk jugs) and recycles those plastics into a variety of building materials. Because the company has a strong focus on sustainability, the company managers try, whenever possible, to use recycled materials and to invest in sustainable projects.
Last year, the company engaged in several sustainable practices that had an impact on its cash flows. For each of the transactions listed below, indicate whether the transaction would have affected the operating, investing, or financing cash flows of the company. Additionally, indicate whether each transaction would have increased (+) or decreased (−) cash.
Transactions:
- 1. Webber paid off long-term bonds during the year using excess funds.
- 2. New production equipment that is 40% more energy efficient than the old equipment was purchased for cash.
- 3. Webber Installed a “living roof” on its manufacturing facility. This roof is made mostly from sedum, a drought-resistant perennial grass-like groundcover. The plants help to reduce stormwater runoff and double the expected life of the roof over a conventional roof. The plants also reduce heating and cooling needs by providing an extra layer of insulation. Additionally, the plants absorb carbon dioxide to help to reduce greenhouse gases. The living roof was paid for with cash.
- 4. A wind turbine was built to power part of Webber’s operations. The company paid cash.
- 5. Engineers at Webber performed research into a new process that injects tiny air bubbles into the plastic to reduce the usage of raw materials (plastics) and to reduce the weight of the finished products.
- 6. Throughout the year, Webber participated in several trade shows that featured green products for use by the housing construction industry. For each trade show, Webber incurred cash expenses for transportation, registration, meals and lodging, and booth setup.
- 7. A Honda Civic Hybrid automobile was purchased for use by the sales manager of Webber while on company business. The company paid cash.
- 8. When the plastic wood is cut into the lengths needed to make trellises, the end pieces cut off are scrap. Webber sold this cutting scrap to another recycler,
- 9. Webber became a minority partner in a biofuel project by investing $2 million in cash in the project.
- 10. A fleet of plug-in electric cars was purchased for the sales staff. The company paid cash.

Over the semester we have learned that one of the three pillars of our economy is capital expenditures (CAPEX) by private and public businesses. On an annual basis companies allocate a certain amount of their free cash to develop projects that will facilitate company growth and earnings, which will, in turn, improve stock prices and shareholder value. Inside this process is the selection of projects that will be selected among many different available projects. Those companies that make the best choices are the ones that will successfully grow. Those that do not will join the garbage heap of companies that fail. You have that choice as the CFO of Almost Done (AD) Enterprises. Below are the specifics about a project that has been presented.

Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.Paul Duncan, financial manager of EduSoft Inc., is facing a dilemma. The firm was founded 5 years ago to provide educational software for the rapidly expanding primary and secondary school markets. Although EduSoft has done well, the firm's founder believes an industry shakeout is imminent. To survive, EduSoft must grab market share now, and this will require a large infusion of new capital.Because he expects earnings to continue rising sharply and looks for the stock price to follow suit, Mr. Duncan does not think it would be wise to issue new common stock at this time. On the other hand, interest rates are currently high by historical standards, and the firm's B rating means that interest payments on a new debt issue would be prohibitive.…arrow_forwardRecognizing cash flows for capital investment projects.
