This provides an understanding of the CFS to the readers, users and the analysts with regard to the cash flows from the corporation’s routine operations.

Plant & Equipment:
The fixed assets used by a company for manufacturing or providing services are termed as plant and equipment. These assets are for long-term, and thus, have a life of more than a year. They are depreciable and tangible in nature.
Answer to Problem 28P
The additions in Crosby Corporation’s plant & equipment have largely been financed through accounts payable, which is a short-term source. Such type of financing is not a preferred by any company as short-term sources should only be used for short-term needs.
Explanation of Solution
The financing of the gross buildup in Crosby Corporation’s plant & equipment of $690,000, of which the net buildup is of $371,000, has largely been done by accounts payables worth $248,000, which is a short-term source.
