Instructions:

Make a statement of cash flows in proper form for 2020 using the Indirect method. Then, redo the Operating Section only using the Direct method.

In this exercise, follow these steps:

Make a Comparative Balance Sheet where you compute the dollar change in every account on the Balance Sheet.

Label each item on the Balance Sheet as being Operating, Investing, or Financing. Don't bother labeling Cash or Retained Earnings because these are affected by all three activities.

For the Operating Section (Indirect Method):

Start with Net Income

Add Depreciation and/or Amortization Expense

Adjust out anything included in Net Income that belongs in the Investing or Financing section

Add or subtract accordingly all items you labeled as an Operating activity from the Balance Sheet

For the Investing and Financing Sections:

Use T-Accounts for each account to help you solve for the correct amounts: start with beginning balance on the correct side; include what you know including ending balance; figure out what else needed to happen in order to get the ending balance.

Use journal entries (if appropriate) to help you visualize a transaction and its effect (or not) on cash

Be sure to account for all changes in the balance sheet and to reconcile those to the appropriate section of the cash flow statement.

For the Operating Section (Direct Method)

You are starting with Sales, adjusting it for cash received from customers, then going directly down the Income Statement and doing the same with each item on the Income Statement.

You will end up with the same answer for Operating Cash Flow as derived using the Indirect Approach.

Be sure to consider all items labeled Operating in your Comparative Balance Sheet.

Other Important Information Affecting Investing and/or Financing Activities

There are no non-cash transactions affecting investing activities.

The only sales of assets are the ones reflected on the income statement.
