Explanation of Solution
Net income: Net income is the excess amount of revenue which arises after deducting all the expenses of a company. In simple terms, it is the difference between total revenue and total expenses of the company.
Cash flows from operating activities: These refer to the cash received or cash paid in day-to-day operating activities of a company.
Explain the way that the given events are affecting net income and cash flows from operating activities.
- a. Purchased one year insurance policy on October 1st for $9,000. It decreases the cash flows from the operating activities by $9,000, because there is a cash outflow of $9,000. On December 31st, three months amount is recognized as an expense through an adjusting entry. It decreases the net income in the income statement by $2,250 (1) (for three months).
- b. Purchased supplies for $2,000 on account. $500 paid on accounts payable. This will decrease the cash flows from operating activities, but not affect the net income. During the year $1,700 (2) supplies are used. Adjusting the supplies account will decrease supplies account and increase supplies expense account. Increase in expense decreases the net income in the income statement.
- c. $10,000 Services provided for cash. It increases the net income in the income statement and cash flows from the operating activities in the statement of cash flows by $10,000.
- d. Cash collected $2,400 in advance to render a service, which starts from May 1st and continued for one year. This increases the cash flows from operating activities, but not affected the net income. Till the end of December 31, total 8 months services are rendered. This will increase the net income in the income statement by $1,600 (3).
- e. Accrued salaries amounting to $5,600. This will decrease the net income by $5,600. Since there is no cash out flow, there is no change in the cash flow from operating activities.
- f. Sold land that cost $3,000 for $3,000 cash. It does not affect the net income and cash flows from operating activities. Because land and cash are the balance sheet items and sale of land is an investing activity in the statement of cash flows.
- g. Acquired $15,000 cash from the issue of common stock. It does not affect the net income and cash flows from operating activities. Because common stock and cash are the balance sheet items and issuing common stock is a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.
- h. Earned $12,000 revenue on account. It increases the net income in the income statement. Collected $8,000 cash from the accounts receivable. It increases the cash flows from the operating activities.
- i. Cash paid for operating expenses $4,500. It decreases the net income in the income statement and cash flows from operating activities.
