Exercise-13 (Preparation of statement of cash flows – Indirect method)
The income statement and comparative balance sheet of Edison Corporation is given below:
During the year 2017, a dividend of $130 was declared and paid by management of Edison Corporation. Some plant assets were purchased during 2017 and the payment was settled by issuing common stock amounting to $35.
Required: Using the data given above, prepare statement of cash flows of Edison Corporation using indirect method.
Solution
Depreciation expenses for the year 2017:
Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 2017 – Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 2016
= $600 – $585
= $15
Issuance of capital stock for cash:
(Capital stock on Dec. 31, 2017 – Capital stock on Dec. 31, 2016) – Capital stock issued in exchange of plant assets
= ($950 – $850) – $35
= $65
Cash received from sale of investment:
Cost of investment sold + Gain on sale of investment
= ($710 – $650) + $40
= $60 + $40
= $100
Cash paid for purchase of plant assets:
(Gross plant assets on Dec. 31, 2017 – Gross plant assets on Dec. 31, 2016) – Plant assets acquired in exchange of common stock
= ($950 – $850) – $35
= $65

how did you calculate the issuance of capital amount?
Amount of shares issued during the period: $950 – $850 = $100
Amount of shares issued in exchange of plant assets: $35
Amount of shares issued for cash: $100 – $35 = $65
How can get depreciation expense 15
Depreciation expenses during the year = Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 2017 – Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 2016
= $600 – $585
= $15
Dep expense = AD in 2017 (600) – AD in 2016 (585) – AD decrease coming from the disposal of plant asset (0)
i think there’s shares issued by 35 $ (exchanged by plant asset) surplus 100 $ shares issued during the period = 135 $
The amount of total shares issued is $100. Out of this issue, shares amounting to $35 were exchanged for plant. The amount of shares issued for cash is therefore $65 (= $100-$35).
What i can understand from your words that the company issued shares amounting to $200.
Is that true ?
Thank you.
last question
how did you calculated amount proceeds from sale of investments and purchase of plant assets?
explain?
formula of cash paid for is
cash paid for plant= ending gross plant + gross cost of plant sold – beg gross plant
but i didn’t get answer
We have included the explanation below the statement of cash flows.
If something is still unclear, please don’t hesitate to ask. We welcome every comment and feedback. 🙂
thank you sir,
then i will ask question again, why i am not getting my answer through my formula which is written cfa level 1 curriculum.
cash paid for plant= ending gross plant + gross cost of plant sold – beg gross plant
ending gross plant= 950
beg gross plant= 850
gross cost of plant sold= beg plant + purchase plant – ending plant = 850 + 35- 950= -65 then
cash paid for plant= ending gross plant + gross cost of plant sold – beg gross plant
cash paid for plant = 950 + (-65) – 850= 35
Your formula computes the amount of plant assets purchased during the period. It does not compute the cash paid for plant assets. It will give you the correct answer only in situations where all the assets are purchased for cash. In situations like this exercise, you need to adjust it for assets acquired for non-cash items like equities, liabilities or non-cash assets.
Your formula has been modified below:
Cash paid for plant = End gross plant + Gross cost of plant sold – Beg gross plant – Assets acquired for non-cash items
= $950 + $0 – $850 – $35
= $65
End gross plant = $950
Gross cost of plant sold = $0
Beg gross plant = $850
Plant acquired for non-cash items (for capital stock in this exercise) = $35
Well done. Thank you
It helped refresh my memory
How did you calculate the payment of cash dividends ?
Ending Retained Earnings=Beginning Rretained Earnings+Profit after tax-Dividents
=>Dividents=Beginning Rretained Earnings+Profit after tax-Ending Retained Earnings
for the cash flow for operating activities why do I get 415 instead of 430.
accounts receivable : 3.225
cash payments :
supplier : (2.050)
selling&admin xp : (490)
income taxes. : (270)
So do I. I think it’s the Accumulated Depreciation that shouldn’t be treated as Depreciation Expense.
Why is there a $25 credit for Gain on Sale of Investment? I understand where the 40 comes from, but I really can’t figure out the 25??
@SOFIYA!
$25 has nothing to do with the gain on sale of investment. It is the reduction in accrued liabilities during the period.
= ($125 on December 31, 2016) – ($100 on December 31, 2017)
= $25
Hope that helps 🙂
please why is it that gain of sales of investment has been subtracted from the operating activities and the same time has been added in the investing activities
Simply because the gain on sale of investment is not related to operating activities.
How do you treat depreciation in the statement of profit or loss and accumulated depreciation in the statement of financial position ?
What about taxation and dividents paid?
Hello! How did you get the 130 payment of cash dividends? Thank you
