1. Cash Flow from Operations The starting points to determine our Cash Flows from Operations are the Income Statement Accounts which we then relate to their Balance Sheet Accounts. Sales links with Accounts Receivable (Debtors). COGS links with Inventory, then Inventory links to Accounts Payable The balance of Accounts Receivable is increased by Sales, and decreased by customer payments (Cash). We know the opening balance (from last years statements), we have this years figure (the closing balance). We know the Sales figure (from our Income Statement), so we can simply calculate the balancing figure which is the cash payments or in In Cash Flow language, Receipts from Customers. Note: You may wonder what happens if we make some cash sales which dont go through Accounts Receivable. To prove it makes no difference, break the sales figure up into two figures, cash sales revenue and credit sales revenue. Now do the T accounts. It makes no difference! Payments to Suppliers is a bit more difficult. First we calculate how much inventory we purchased, then how much we paid through Accounts Payable. A two stage process. The figures shown in red on the previous page have been calculated, once all the other information was in place. Cash Flow from Investing This relates to the purchase of non-current assets. We buy new equipment and sell our surplus old machines. If our accumulated depreciation figure has not increased by the same amount as our depreciation expense we must have disposed of an asset. Any difference can only be the amount of accumulated depreciation on disposed assets. If the figure for a class of Non-current assets (for example Plant & Equipment) has changed, this indicates we have purchased or disposed of assets, or maybe both. Depending on how the Income Statement is formatted (sometimes it shows the book value of the assets disposed of, but often it does not) we may need additional information. In this example we are told that the purchase price of the equipment sold was $20,000. We are left to calculate the rest.

The above accounts can be a challenge to interpret! If we look at the second journal above we see that accumulated depreciation has decreased from $48,000 to $46,000 despite there being a credit of $11,000 from depreciation expense. The $13,000 balancing item is the accumulated depreciation of the asset disposed of. So the book value of the asset disposed of was $7,000 ($20,000 - $13,000). The $16,000 proceeds from the sale of plant and equipment is directly available on the Income Statement. The Plant and Equipment (P&E) T account shows the disposal of the old machine, which has reduced the value of P&E by $20,000 on the left hand side. The balancing item, shown in red can only be the new machine that has been purchased!

Cash Flow from Financing

The third segment of the Cash Flow Statement covers equity (share) issues, debt finance (a new loan is an inflow or receipt, a repaid loan is an outflow or payment) and any dividend paid. The calculation of the dividend is shown in the T account below.
