2-28
Cash flow provided by operating activities exceeds net income by $270,000. This occurs primarily because we add back amortization of $150,000 and accounts payable increases by $190,000. Thus, the reader of the cash flow statement gets important insights as to how much cash flow was developed from daily operations.
2-29
The buildup in plant and equipment of $400,000 (gross) and $250,000 (net) has been financed, in part, by the large increase in accounts payable (190,000). This is not a very satisfactory situation. Short-term sources of funds can always dry up, while capital asset needs are permanent in nature. The firm may wish to consider more long-term financing, such as a mortgage, to go along with profits, the increase in bonds payable, and the add-back of amortization.
