#9

Payment of dividends is included in calculation of CFF for both Indirect and Direct methods

#10

Because it’s an item in the indirect CFF statement, repectively an outflow

#11

Wouldn’t proceeds from sale of land go under CFI? I get B for 2nd question.

#12

It says – Gain from sale of land – which is a CFO Outflow. Proceeds from Sale of Land – would be a CFI inflow. minor but important distinction.

  1. A A) Cash taxes --> Answer [I guess only ‘Deferred Taxes’ are considered for CFO calculations???] B) Depreciation. —> CFO C) Payment of dividends. —> CFF D) Increase in inventories. —> CFO 2. A Net Income + add back depreciation (no real cash flow) + subtract gain from sales of land (to avoid double counting the gains, as the complete proceeds are added in CFI) + Increase in accounts payable 300,000 Dividends paid on preferred stock are CFI as per US GAAP So ans is 3000K + 1500K - 200K + 300K = 4600K - Dinesh S
